- / per
This hardy perennial is native to Western North America. Forms dense clusters of plants, with grey foliage. Blooms from June to August. Does well in rock gardens in full sun conditions.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 3-8
Height: 10", 25cm
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 4-12 weeks after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. Parts of this plant and/or seed contain poison.
