Comment |
Erect Form. Pruning Group 14. "A regal plant for the back-of-the-border. Broomstick-sized, but hollow, ruby red stems ageing black, clad with triangular leaves, bearing great umbels of purple and white seedheads. Hugely impressive. FOR BEST RESULTS, SOW SEEDS ONTO A GOOD SOIL-BASED COMPOST. COVER THE SEEDS WITH FINE GRIT OR COMPOST TO APPROXIMATELY THEIR OWN DEPTH. WE RECOMMEND GERMINATING AT 15 TO 20 DEGREES C. ALTHOUGH THEY CAN BE SOWN AT ANY TIME, THESE SEEDS MAY SOMETIMES WAIT FOR SPRING BEFORE EMERGING, BUT SPRING SOWING WILL OBVIOUSLY GIVE THEM A FULL SEASON OF GROWTH." from Plant World Seeds. "Peucedanum verticillare is a robust, open, biennial or short-lived perennial with a bushy clump of blue-green basal leaves, pink-flushed when emerging in spring, and flattened umbels of pale yellow flowers on stout, erect, red stems from midsummer to early autumn." from Shoot. "The flowering period extends from June through August in their native habitat. Giant Hog Fennel is a biennial or short-lived perennial that needs two-five years to reach maturity. These plants are deciduous and die after flowering and producing seeds. As the seeds germinate quite easily, usually many seedlings grow all around the previous plant. This plant is toxic if ingested. Peucedanum verticillare is commonly present in riverbeds, the banks of streams, stony grounds and ravines. It prefers rich and well drained soil in a sunny or partially shady place, at an altitude of 0–1,600 metres (0–5,200 ft) above sea level." from Wikipedia. Available from Shoot and Bluebell Cottage Gardens Nursery in the UK . Seeds available from Chiltern Seeds , B&T World Seeds and Plant World Seeds. |
