ARGENTINIAN BLUE EYED GRASS (Yellow) Sisyrinchium macrocarpum

A showy plant with the largest flowers in its genus! Bright yellow, with a contrasting purple-brown ring inside. Probably the most attractive yellow sisyrinchium available.

Type: Hardy perennial

Height: 10", 20 cm

Location: Sun or part

Hardiness zones: 5-9

Seeds per pack: 10

Germination: These seeds require extra care and time to germinate. As with many perennials, these seeds benefit from a period of moist cold to help them 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 your growing medium, and water. Place your container in a cold area (but not freezing, perhaps a refrigerator) for 5-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks, or occasionally several months, after the warming period.
