Ligularia fischeri Gom Chwi CC
12 seeds per packet.
Seeds are harvested from plants grown by us from seed collected by Chris Chadwell in the Himalaya. Seeds are rarely available in Europe and we believe we are the only nursery to offer home grown seeds.
A rarely cultivated, edible perennial with coarsely toothed, large, kidney-shaped, basal leaves and racemes of tall, yellow flower heads, followed by attractive, fluffy seed heads. Height 2 metres. In Korea it is eaten as the main ingredient in pickled herbal side dishes or the leaves eaten fresh as a vegetable wrap. Moist, humus rich, well-drained soil in sun to semi-shade.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Sow from March to June. Cover seed thinly, press in gently and keep top of compost from drying out. Keep pot warm at 15 to 20°C until germination, then move to somewhere cooler.
Carefully prick out seedlings when they have developed true leaves and are large enough to transplant to individual pots to grow on.
