Silphium perfoliatum

Ref : N0207 - Silphium perfoliatum
Bag of 60 seeds

This perennial species, 2.5 to 3 m high, produces large leaves grouped in twos and an abundance of pretty yellow flowers with 18 to 40 petals. Ideal for restoring biodiversity!

The abundant seeds appeal to many garden birds.

Its English name "Cup plant" derives from the position of the leaves, surrounding the stem like a cup, and collecting rainwater. Birds, insects and even amphibians come to drink from this little water reservoir in summer.

Perennial seeds require a wintering period for germination. Place them in the fridge for 60 days before sowing in spring. Sow in trays, making sure the seeds are lightly covered, as they germinate in the light. When the plants have 5 to 6 leaves, transplant into individual cups or directly into warmed soil. Autumn seedlings are sown in the same way and left outdoors until spring.

They reseed spontaneously.
