does any one want

some seeds for this aconitum napellus plant http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=4361

this is what the flowers look like

 

apparently this is how to grow them
Seed germination, sowing instructions for Aconites. Aconitum napellus is easy to grow from seeds. This plant is a cold-germinator. The sowing must be kept cold for a period of some weeks (refrigerator) or you sow them in very early spring or autumn. Mix the seeds with damp sand in a plastic bag. The sowing must be kept warm (about 20 degrees C / 64 to 72 degrees F and moist for the first 2-4 weeks. After this period place it in your refrigerator at a temperature of 5 degrees C (between 25 and 39 degrees F) for 5 to 6 weeks. After that take the bag out and keep it at room temperature. Check for sprouted seed regulary.

 

I would love a few, presume they are an annual ? Would look great in my purple border ....

 

pm your address and i shall pop some in the post

yes annual just cut down in the autumn or if wind damaged

 

any one else ?
pm you address if you do

 

bump

 

Kaz - thats a very kind offer. I do have some thank you, but just wanted to point out that it is a perennial - which to my mind makes it a lot more valuable plant. Its also poisonous - but that really shouldn't be a problem. Actually so many plants in the garden are poisonous - we just don't know about it.

But then chocolate is also poisonous to humans. About 3 kilo in one sitting could be fatal. But I don't even worry about that. I just try to keep below that figure.

 

sorry i am lost what do you mean by it mor valuable plant ?

 

I too would love some!

 

Kaz - what I meant is that, for me at least, I consider a perennial plant to be more useful in the garden than an annual one. With an annual you have to keep collecting seed and resowing, whilst a perennial will appear next year without you having to take any action.

 

thank you peter i am a dope

 

I'd love some Kaz if you've any to spare....have you still got my address ...if not no worries i'll PM it....
