Bolusanthus speciosus (100 seeds)
It is a hardy, graceful, briefly deciduous, drought resistant tree with graceful grey-green almost weeping foliage. The huge, pendulous bunches of beautiful mauve pea-like flowers that are born in September and October are truly spectacular. Its wonderful weeping shape and attractive glistening foliage make it an ideal avenue tree.
Sowing instructions: The seeds must first be soaked in hot water, left overnight and planted the next morning in seedling trays. Cover the seeds lightly with river sand and keep moist. Placing a clear glass over the seedling tray can speed up germination.
