detailed seed-starting info below

Wildflower native to South Africa, where it is used as a traditional medicinal herb. It grows naturally in sandy soils, and is best planted in groups, by itself or mixed with other spring-flowering wildflowers. Not the most refined plant, but I'll see what it does in our garden.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
