SKU: 962-010
Description
A very rare, exciting and stunning flower bears spectacular head of closely-packed, blue-purple flowers with a bright golden eye! The flowers open over an extended period in late spring on a hairy stem. The foliage has thick, wavy-edged leaves, clad in dense hairs. This is one of the world's newest and most desirable plants. Provide organic moist soil, and preferably some shade.
Available for a very limited time.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Height: 1.2-1.5m, 4-5'
Location: Shade or part sun
Seeds per pack: 10
Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants may be poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Do not bury the seeds. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. 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 cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-90 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
