Salvia campanulata CC7706
10 seeds per packet.
The seeds we offer have been harvested from a plant grown by us from Chris Chadwell expedition seed from Nepal. A robust, clump-forming perennial that is native to the forest margins, forests, hillsides and valleys of central China and the Himalayas. Produces a large, basal rosette of heart-shaped, roughly textured leaves and upright spikes of large, bright yellow flowers from July into September. Fantastic plant for bees and other insects. Height 100 cm. Well-drained, humus rich soil in full sun to part 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.
