Description

One of the rarer species in this lovely group of spring flowers, this variety has attractive, deep violet-purple flowers, with bright yellow central stamens, above the compact clumps of feathery foliage, the flowers being followed by wonderful fluffy seeds. They are all excellent plants for a rock garden or raised bed, and it is said that they resent being moved once established, advice I agree with! Few seeds collected.

Sowing Advice

Seeds can be sown at any time but are best sown in winter or early spring to benefit from a cold spell in the wet compost to break their dormancy. We advise covering seeds very thinly with sand or fine grit to about the depth of the seed size. If the seeds do not come up within 6 to 12 weeks the damp seed tray can be given cold treatment in a fridge for about four weeks. They may still take very many months to appear, so please never discard the pot or tray.
