In stock
Description
This exquisite, hardy, bulbous plant has leaves that are attractively mottled with purple-brown blotches, and beautiful, drooping, bright pink flowers with reflexed petals, making a stunning combination of colours that will add plenty of beauty to your garden. Once established it will slowly, if you are lucky, spread by seeding gently. It is called the Dog's Tooth Violet" as the bulbs do indeed resemble dogs' teeth!
Sowing Advice
Sow seeds at any time, covering them very thinly with compost or grit, keeping the seed pot in a cool, well-lit spot outdoors. Artificial heat is not needed and can prevent germination so be very patient as many species will only germinate in the spring after chilling or freezing in the moist seed pot in the winter. Grow on individual seedlings in small pots until of sufficient size to be potted on or planted out into the open ground.
