BUTTERBER PINK-FLOWERED, FUKI

- / per
We are really happy to be able to bring you this new Butterbur, with it's huge leaves, and bright pink flowers that emerge through the snow in very early spring! Leaves begin to emerge from the ground after the plant is already in bloom. If you are looking for a wow plant, this is it!
Fuki are said to like moist soil. We have found them to be very tolerant of many conditions! The largest patch we grow is in mostly shade, with dry, sandy soil. In this location, they do need some water in the heat of the summer, or they will droop. If you have a moist area, or an area with rich, deep soil, they will likely need little to no watering. The leaves seem to get the largest in shady locations.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 47", 120cm
Location: Shade, part sun, or sun, depending on soil moisture.
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Seeds per packet: 20
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 C (68-72 F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
