Lysimachia atropurpurea
CRIMSON LOOSETRIFE
- Unit price
- / per
Do not confuse this Crimson Loosestrife with the invasive Loosestrife! This Loosestrife is a valuable garden plant that will not invade surrounding areas. Distinct and attractive plant from the Balkan Peninsula with ornamental silver-green foliage, and spikes of small wine-red flowers all summer long! Splendid in the garden border, great for a large container, and the blooms are useful for cutting.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 30", 75cm
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 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 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
