Description

Heritage Status: New Zealand
Number of Seeds: 30

Description: Perennial | 40-80cm. Cottage Garden Flower. From Bolivia, this clear blue starry flower, is long lasting in bloom and as a cut flower, followed by long boat shaped seed pods. In the same family as Swan plants and other butterfly plants. It came to this land with our grandmothers, and survived until today being passed on down probably because it is a perennial.

Planting Instructions: Sow into trays in late Spring, prick out when first leaves appear at 2.5cm spacing and transplant at 30cm diagonal spacings, or amongst other plants they can grow up and lean around. In cold short seasons, they make a great bedding plant.
