Chasmanthe aethiopica
« on: September 01, 2008, 04:39:10 PM »
Please can anyone help me track down seed of this - it's the one Chasmanthe I've never managed to lay my hands on and I'd like to see just what it's like?
Thanks for any suggestions

Dear Sue,

They are quite slow to reply, but it always comes in the end.

Hello!

My C. aethiopica is blooming at the moment. It produces a lot of nectar by the way :)
"F" for Fritillaria, that's good enough to me ;)

Hi Sue:

          Chasmanthes are large plants and sensitive to even slight frosts (that turn the foliage a sickly yellowish green). All three species are available as seed and also the attractive yellow form, duckittiae
Alberto Castillo, in south America, near buenos Aires, Argentina.
