A rare siberian species. Large, deep-rose blooms open like Meconopsis flowers, slowly flattening with age and displaying their centres of golden anthers. The flowers are perfumed like lily-of-the-valley! The leaves are attractive with very narrow segments.

Type: Shrub/Tree

Height: 60 cm, 1 m

Hardiness zones: 5-9

Location: Sun or part shade

Note: Ornamental use only. These plants or seeds may be poisonous.

Seeds per pack: 6

Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination is generally within 60 days after the warming period, though they could take a few months. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally. 

Note, seeds may first form a root underground for a period of time before sprouting above ground, which may take some time. Patience is required for starting these seeds, but they are well worth the wait!
