- / per
This hardy perennial is native to Eastern Asia, growing well in acidic, well-drained soils. Prefers part shade conditions, though can handle full sun. Makes for a great cut-flower, blooming from August to September.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 5-9
Height: 32", 80cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 75
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 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 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
