Description

This is a fascinating species with large, bell-shaped, off-white flowers, flushed green and purple, hanging down from drooping stalks at the top of stout stems but, after pollination, stand erect. Perfect for flower arrangers, particularly those who enjoy dried flowers, with the dried seed heads adding interest to a display. Frost hardy, these plants require a sunny and partially shaded site and can be grown in rough grass or borders in any moderately fertile soil that is neither too dry nor waterlogged. They can be propagated by freely produced offsets in late summer or by seed in autumn

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.
