Description

This curious and most unusual little gem from the Himalayas grows a spreading cushion upon which appear a succession of black-eyed deep pink flowers in spring and early summer. Internally pollinated (cleistogamous) seeds are also sometimes produced later, but it absolutely must be planted out as a young plant, or cleistogomous seeds will begin to appear before the flowers form.

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.
