Sparaxis grandiflora ssp acutiloba (100 seeds)

It differs from grandiflora with its yellow flowers. Its tepal tips are narrower than some of the others, probably giving rise to the subspecies name. There are sometimes dark markings at the tepal bases.

Sowing instructions: Seed is sown in autumn, thinly, in deep (min. 10 cm) seed trays, to allow for root development.
