- / per
This hardy perennial is native to parts of Europe, growing well in average soils. Blooms from June to September with bright yellow flowers. Forms woody stems as the plant ages, becoming a shrub.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 3-8
Height: 36", 90cm
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 25
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
