Description

Moraea gigandra (Iridaceae) Grootflappie (a). It is a winter-growing, summer-dormant bulb. The mature plant grows up to 0.5 m high and produces a single long, linear, spreading basal leaf up to 0.9 m long. The large, iris-like flowers usually occur in shades of pale to deep mauvish blue or deep blue, rarely white or orange. It is on the verge of extinction in nature. With its striking large flowers is is very popular and fortunately it is easy to grow. Sowing : It is easily raised from seeds sown in late autumn in deep seed trays, pots or directly into deep seed beds, in the same medium recommended for mature corms. Seeds should be sown at a depth of 3-4 mm and care should be taken not to sow too thickly, to prevent overcrowding and reduce the chances of loss to damping-off fungi. Germination takes place within six weeks. Locality : Eendekuil. Date of harvest : Dec 2013
