phacelia fimbriata

Submitted by 652500 on Wed, 12/19/2018 - 01:21

For several years I'm trying to get seeds of the (annual) phacelia fimbriata. Up to this moment without succes. I's a beautiful woodlander from the Smoky Mountains.

Does anyone grow them? Or has seeds? Or know  a source to get them?

X-Mas greetings, Gerrit Raven Netherlands

Yesterday it was +27C and lots of newly emerging plants suffered. Today the weather is more spring like with milder temperature and rain.

I took these pictures yesterday.

A couple of Epis raised from Gerrit's seed a year or two back .Although the labels have faded and are illegible ,(Duh !!), it's of no real concern as it only adds to the anticipation of eventual flowering...cheeky.....

Various small plants and seedlings of Hepatica nobilis and H. transsilvanica are in bloom here, thanks for the prolonged warm spell (now tempered by a return to cooler, windy conditions).

Kicking off this starter message on Epimedium 2014.  I hope to start into some research on new varieties available from a number of nurseries.  But for tonight, just a photo of a selected unnamed hybrid of mine that has deep chocolate foliage in spring, contrasting well with pure white flowers above the foliage.

Last Sunday we went to an Open Day at a nearby wholesale Hellebore Nursery, Post Office Farm, run by a friend, Peter Leigh.

Peter took a group on a tour of the nursery and we got to see "behind the scenes" of a very well run operation. Here are some pics

cheers

Let me kick off the Epimedium 2013 topic here in January, by highlighting some nursery sources. Choice Epimedium are becoming more available, and prices are starting to come down (although depends on where you shop). I have started the following list, please feel free to add links to additional nursery resources, indicating where the nursery is located.
