Description

Clusters of strong-smelling yellow flowers are shown on a sturdy erect stem amid elaborately-edged deeply veined leaves not dissimilar to the common nettle. More commonly found on the European mainland, this unusual looking plant likes to stand in shade and once established is likely to pop up places you might not expect to find it. To add to its bizarre and interesting features, this is also one of the few plants to be pollinated by wasps.

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.
