Ah, the verdant new growth in early spring! Don't you just want to kiss it? Common name whorlflower Family morinaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers white flowers in spikes, early summer Size 2-3' tall by 1' wide Light full sun Cultural notes ordinary garden soil (not too dry) From seed easy, start at room temperature, germination in about a week detailed seed-starting info below Attractive glossy thistly foliage, flower spikes late spring-summer. I've found this plant to be somewhat finicky about its placement - it's been killed off both by too soggy and by too dry conditions. Our main stand, in the cushy side garden, has been relatively steady though.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, orchard nursery area
