Hieracium 'Chocolate Dip'

Description

In early spring prostrate rosettes of pointed, radiating leaves appear to have been quickly dipped in chocolate. Yellow flowers later are a bonus. This amazing form of Hieracium maculatum will certainly be included in many designer gardens in the future.

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.
