Title: Hacquetia epipactis Thor or Variegata
Post by: mark smyth on March 09, 2012, 01:12:59 AM

Does anyone know the difference between Hacquetia epipactis Thor and Variegata?

I have what looks like two plants now. When and how do I divide Hacquetia?

This is part of Thor looking great today.

Mine are not as much into leaf here, Mark. I divide at this time of year - a knife and cut pieces off the side of the clump.

Mine are only just up too Mark, you are way ahead of us, perhaps you ought to store your questions for a week before posting them ;D

Mark, please be careful do not break into small pieces, they die easily then. A little larger so it is nice. I've learned the hard way. Early spring, I have divided my plants.
 From what I know, variegata and Thor is the same plant.
