Moraea Stricta

Description

These unusual plants flower without a leaf, displaying blue-violet flowers with yellow-orange nectar guides on the outer tepals. They will do best in a warm scree or rock garden, or even better in a pot where they will have perfect drainage and somewhere sheltered where you can enjoy them!

Sowing Advice

Seeds may be sown at any time of the year onto a well-drained compost and covered very thinly indeed with compost or grit, leaving some of the seed showing as light may aid germination. Keep the pot moist at a temperature of between 18 and 22 degrees C in a well-lit position. Seeds should germinate within 2 to 6 weeks but may take longer. Pot on into small pots before finally planting into a large pot, or outside in warmer countries.
