CAROLINA SILVERBELL
Halesia carolina
SKU: 2105-005
Description
An understory tree that offers stunning spring blossoms! This small tree or large shrub boasts elegant, white, bell-shaped blooms that dangle in rows along its branches like raindrops. Native to the United States. It prefers rich, acidic soil and is relatively pest-free. Carolina Silverbell is also easy to grow and makes a great focal point in your garden.
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Seeds per pack: 5
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 60-90 days. 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.
