CF Smyrnium perfoliatum - CF1945

Delicate greenish gold umbels appear through the middle of the leaves in this unusual plant. Though unusual it is a relatively old cottage garden plant that was known to be used in flower arrangements. Being a biennial it germinates and then dies down to a baby tuber until the following year. The sowing must be kept warm (about 18 to 22°C) and moist for the first 2–4 weeks. After this period the sowing must be kept at a cold temperature (between –4 and +4°C) for another 4–6 weeks. This is best achieved by placing in your fridge inside a sealed plastic bag to retain moisture.

Schizanthus Angel Wings - 39975

Bushy plants have fern-like foliage and are perfect for a small border, however they do enjoy semi-shade as opposed to full sun. Also great for some delightful colour splashes in the shady (cooler) part of the garden or in dappled light under some larger shrubs or tree canopies Angel Wings has spotted flowers in shades of cream, pink, violet, blue and rose. When growing Schizanthus, the best thing you can do is provide is an early start and mostly cool weather, so begin your plants indoors about three months before your last anticipated frost date in the spring. Then in cooler regions of NZ, once late spring or early summer arrive, it's time to pop your plants out in a semi-shaded location. They will also benefit if protected from strong winds and extreme weather attacks. Schizanthus will stop producing once the heat of summer sets in. Also a great container plant.
