SKU: 1329-20
Description
This large unique perennial has fern-like foliage year-round, and spikes of white flowers in summer! This plant does best planted in part shade. It is very easy to care for, and is disease resistant!
Type: Perennial
Height: 100 cm or 40"
Location: Shade or part sun
Hardiness zones: 3-7
Seeds per pack: 20
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 3-4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 6-8 weeks. Then bring them to a cool room (approximately 12°C, 54°F) for 6-8 weeks. If they are not growing they will need a second cold period, cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for another 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the second cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool (12-15C, 54-59F) room for them to germinate. This double cold period is not always needed, but sometimes necessary, and is very normal for these seeds. Germination is in 30-90 days after the second warming period, sometimes longer.
