- / per
This hardy perennial is native to parts of Europe and Asia. Blooms first year, second year plants bloom from June to August. Grows well in well-drained soils and performs well in rock gardens. It is a low maintenance, clump forming plant.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 5-8
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 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
