WHITE QUEEN Of THE PRAIRIE
Filipendula ulmaria
SKU: 1166-015
Description
An elegant perennial with large sprays of white flowers, held high above deeply serrated and lobed foliage. It is beautiful statement plant that can be grown in sun or shade. Plants can be used in a garden setting, or used to naturalize. Plants like regular soil, or slightly moist soil.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9, and some sources suggesting as cold as zone 1!
Height: Up to 5', 150 cm
Location: Sun or shade
Seeds per pack: 15 (previously 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 5-6 weeks. 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. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and early May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
