ANEMONE NARCISSUS
Anemone narcissiflora
SKU: 1952-005
Description
Anemonastrum narcissiflorum, the narcissus anemone or narcissus-flowered anemone grows 7 to 60 cm (2+3⁄4 to 23+1⁄2 inches) tall, from a caudex (woody-like perennial base), flowering spring to mid summer but often found flowering till late summer.
The flowers are produced in clusters with 2 to 8 white flowers.
Anemonastrum narcissiflorum is native to north western North America and Eurasia where it can be found growing in high mountain alpine grasslands, in thickets, grassy meadows with moist soils, tundra, open woods, along roadsides and in pastures.
Very limited supply.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 2-7
Height: 35 cm, 14"
Location: Sun or shade
Note: This plant species is known to have toxicity
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: As with many perennial seeds, these seeds require a period of moist cold to help them begin to grow. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water. Place them in a clear plastic bag (to retain moisture), and in a refrigerator for 5-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container back at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout several weeks after the warming period.
These seeds can also be planted in a cold frame outdoors in very early spring, while the temperatures are still cold and fluctuating, as long as you are able to keep the soil consistently moist. They will still need several weeks to germinate.
