Syncarpha paniculata (Achyranthemum paniculata) (100 seeds)

Syncarpha paniculata (bride everlasting).  It produces terminal clusters of delightful hemispherical, discoid flowers. The papery bracts of the flowerheads start off yellow or pink, later to turn white or cream-colored. The leaves are narrow, sharply pointed and silvery felted, growing densely on erect branches. Sowing: Mix 50 % sand or silica with 50 % seedling mixture, which allows for good drainage. Mix the seeds with soil before sowing or sow them first and cover with a very fine soil. The container should provide good water drainage and be placed under moderate mist. The seeds will germinate within four weeks. Locality: De Hoop. Harvest: February 2023
