Description

Cyanella hyacinthoides. A corm-bearing plant growing up to 400 mm high. The leaves, up to 20 mm long, are very variable ranging from suberect and slender, to flatter and broader, growing in a basal tuft or rosette. The margins are somewhat wavy. The attractive, pale to deep mauve or blue, rarely white, fragrant flowers have 6 stamens of which the upper 5 filaments are arched and fused for part of their length. Sowing : Sow seed in autumn (March) in a coarse, well-drained soil medium with equal parts of coarse river sand, industrial silica (sand) and well-rotted fine compost. Sprinkle the seeds evenly, but not too close together and cover with a thin layer of the same mixture (about as deep as the seed’s diameter), to provide support, moisture and drainage for the germinating seedlings. Once the seed has been sown, water with a fine mist sprayer. Germinating seeds need sufficient moisture, circulating air and optimum temperature and light conditions during their growth period. Place the seed tray in a warm, partially shaded place to protect the seedlings from changing temperatures and too much sun.Locality: Piketberg. Harvest: November 2020
