ROCK CANDYTUFT
- Unit price
- / per
This hardy perennial is native to Southern Europe and Northern Africa. In warmer climates, the foliage is evergreen, while in colder winters, it may die back to the roots. Starts off with a white blossom, but as the blossom ages, fades into a pink/purple colour. Blooms from April to May and is a great pollinator plant for honey bees. Would be a great addition for a rock garden.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 5-9
Height: 3", 8cm
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. 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 stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
