Grown from seed donated by a Nepalese Botanic Garden, this lovely shrub produces sizeable, bright yellow flowers from velvety red flower buds, amidst dense branches bearing shiny green leaves. A real bone hardy gem, it does well either in sun or part shade.

Sowing Advice

These seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. They should be sown into well-drained, sandy compost at any time of the year, and covered to their own depth with sand or grit. No artificial heat is needed; the seed tray is best left in a cool spot outside and kept moist. Seeds germinate very slowly indeed in the spring after a chilling in the cold compost, regardless of when they are sown. Some seeds may take more than a year to germinate.
