Fresh 2022 season seeds ready for sowing, collected from a wide range of established parent plants. Bowl shaped, nodding, pale flowers in a mix of colours white, cream, pink, violet and deep violet black are produced very early in the season from January to March.
Loved by bees and a very important food source early in the year.
Looks amazing in the front and middle of a mixed border making an early season statement. Very hardy and long lived and plants will gently self seed once established.
Easily raised from fresh seed.
