The pure milky white form of this fabulous and choice connoisseur’s plant is even rarer than the blue form, and is almost never seen or offered. Large and exquisite cup-shaped flowers are held above soft lobed leaves making this one of the most luscious and coveted flowers you can grow. This priceless specimen will enchant you if grown in shade and rich soil. “A great treasure.” (Graham Stuart Thomas) Just a very few good seeds collected.
Sowing advice:
For best results, sow seeds as soon as you receive them in a cool place onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. These seeds can be very slow indeed to germinate, and as a rule they wait for spring before emerging whenever they are sown. Please be very patient, and do not discard the seed pan, no matter how long it takes for germination to occur.
