The flowers are greenish-white and are mainly pollinated by rodents. These strains have beautifully striped leaves.

Sowing instructions: It should be sown in autumn. Use 10 cm deep seed trays or pots and a well-drained, sterile sowing medium. Sow seeds thinly to prevent overcrowding and damping off.
