Héjakút Christmas tree - Dipsacus laciniatus - native Hungarian wildflower seed

Christmas tree (Dipsacus laciniatus) 1g, ~330 seeds

875 Ft

The Christmas tree(Dipsacus laciniatus) is a large, native Hungarian wildflower, whose blossom-like flowers are most commonly known as dry flowers. The leaves are coalesced around the stem to form a collar/well in which water collects, making it a favourite watering hole for birds (hence the name). Pollinators are also keen consumers of its nectar, and it is particularly attractive to bumblebees. It is distinguished from the woodland Christmas tree by the colour of its flowers when in bloom: the shell-well Christmas tree is white, while the woodland Christmas tree has purple flowers. One subspecies is also called weaver's Christmas, because it was used in the past to make weaving cloth, and is still sometimes used mainly to make felt for billiard tables.

Sow the seeds in spring or autumn in prepared soil or pots. You can also sow the seeds directly in their permanent location, but it is a good idea to grow them as seedlings to increase the germination rate. Cover the seeds with soil. Water them. Keep the soil moist during the first few weeks of germination. If sown in early spring, they will not flower until the following year, and if sown in autumn, they will usually flower the following year.

Admire the spectacle!
