I've grown C. acaulis off and on through the years. Time for a different species! This one, from southern Europe and western Asia, should be larger, and still prickly. What am I getting myself into?
Several of last year's seedlings survived a full season, and have taken up residence in our rock garden annex. Hopefully flowers soon...

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Julie Watts | Sep 29, 2013 | Hi Rob! Have you ever grown a Carlina Corymbosa? I am attempting to get a water colour painting done of this Mediterranean plant for a friend in Cyprus, whose restaurant is called Karlina's, named after the plant (spelled differently - in error! ). However, the artist, who has agreed to help, is having difficulty finding a picture from which to guide her.
Unfortunately, my plants never made it through their first winter – so I have no photos of a mature plant. |
