Cephalophyllum curtophyllum (100 seeds)

Depending on the local conditions these plants are compact or sprawling. In spite of the name (with short leaves), with a length of 3.5-5 cm the leaves are by no means the shortest in the genus. The flowers are about 4 cm in diameter and purple with white stamens or (more rarely) cream-colored with purple-brown stamens.

Sowing instructions: Sow in trays, pots, etc of good seed compost in a propagator or warm place to maintain an optimum temperature of 20-25°C. Cover with peat or sand.
