FIBIGIA CLYPEATA

Description

A charming dwarf plant for the front border or rockery with grey-green leaves and short stems holding sprays of yellow flowers which transform into attractive, hard, bladder-like seed pots, rather like small eggs clustered up the stems.

Sowing Advice

For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
