Description

Long stems hold dividing sprays of pure white flowers. For such a pretty plant it also has some rather morbid common names such as the "Grave Flower" or "Flower of the Dead" in parts of England, as they are seen often growing on grave sites and around tombstones.

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.
