Description

This very rare and unusual form of the lovely "Welsh Gladwyn," is unique for the attractive, snowy-white, pearl-like seeds which burst forth from the seed-pods in autumn. As they then stay fixed to the open pod and do not fall, whole stems can then be cut to make an impressive floral display. Just a very few seeds collected and you will often get some reversions back to the orange-berried form.

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.
