Description

Such a unique plant! Great in the garden or as a stunning classic ‘filler’ in beautiful bouquets!

Erect plants produce 2 1/2″ yellow-lime green flowers atop long, wiry stems with foliage reminiscent of Eucalyptus with intriguing stems that appear to grow through the leaf. Excellent for mixed bouquets and makes a unique dried flower. Versatile and easy to grow. Try combining the airy stems with brilliant jewel tones or simple clean whites and greens.
Though not well known outside of Dutch flower auctions where it commands a price similar to roses, this unique plant with yellowish flowers and round leaves is treasured by dried-flower growers. Its well-branched 2′ stems air-dry perfectly, retaining their green colour as if dried in glycerine. Because each stem fans out, an individual stem provides backdrop for an entire arrangement, either fresh or dried.

Choose a position in full sun on any well drained soil 1/4″ deep. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 14-30 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 40cm (16″) apart.

Indoor seeding: Seed can be sown indoors from March to May at a temperature of 15-29C (59-84F) A place where the temp swings from 70 (21 C)daytime to 60 (15 C) nighttime is perfect. Sow your plug tray 2 seeds to the cell, slip it into a clear plastic garbage bag or put a dome on it.  When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. Very cold tolerant – plant out as soon as soil can be worked. (Will self sow in warmer areas. In mild areas seeds can be sown directly into the garden in fall).  Outdoor Seeding: Here in Zone 5 can be direct seeded into the garden 6 weeks before last frost.

Flower farmers – plant 2 successions to keep stocked with this beautiful workhorse! For an extended harvest, sow successions of seeds every 2-3 weeks. Harvest when flowers are fully open otherwise they have a tendency to wilt. Fresh flowers last an incredibly long time in the vase with or without flower food for 7-10 days.

Hardy Annual.
approx 100 seeds.

Lupin Mix
Lupin Mix
A member of the pea family, Lupins are a wonderful old-fashioned flower, with spires of blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, peach and bicolours.. Although they are perennials, lupins are in the class of short-lived perennials. They put all their energy into those magnificent flower stalks and wear themselves out in the effort. Lupins live in the range of two to five years, but luckily they will self seed and the butterflies and bumblebees will love you.
