Smyrnium Olusatrum Cream Variegated

Description

This beautiful, completely new, and possibly unique variegated form of the old English-Garden plant, "Alexanders", was discovered here at Plant World. It produces a strong stem bearing umbels of yellow flowers, which are held above cream and white-splashed, thick, shiny, dark green leaves, which produce an amazing brightly splashed mound in the spring. Seedlings of this rare beauty come up almost 100% true and variegated as shown. Fabulous for a wild garden or edge of border where it will gently re-appear annually.

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
