Description

This quite exquisite plant has broad, overlapping, soft pink, upwards facing, starry flowers with yellow stamens and a tiny white throat. Native to Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and Guatemala, in the wild these flowers appear several times a year, especially after rain. The main display, in August-September, when the density of flowers almost makes its narrow foliage invisible, is quite fantastic.

Sowing Advice

Sow seeds at any time covering them very thinly with compost or grit, and leaving some of the seed showing, as light can initiate germination, just as in the wild, and leave in a well-lit, warm spot. Sometimes, artificial heat may not be needed, and may prevent germination, as some species will only germinate in the spring after being chilled in the moist seed tray. Grow on in sharply draining compost in a pot, or the open ground.
