Didiscus (Blue Lace Flower)

Beautiful, unusual and delicate. These are stunning flowers..... grow them once and you will be totally smitten. 

Gorgeous umbels of pale lavender-blue petals with a faint sweet scent. They are a wonderful cut flower with strong stems and if you remember to remove any leaves that would be below the water line, they have a good vase life too. 
Enchanting in arrangements along with other cottage garden favourites such as corncockles, scabious and cornflowers but leave some outside for the pollinators as they adore them too 🐝 🦋 
They can be slow to germinate but be patient, they are worth the wait. 

Plant Care Tips

Sow March/April indoors into modules and cover lightly with seed compost 
Germination takes 2-3 weeks and sometimes longer!
Keep moist and somewhere warm but not hot
Transplant into small pots when large enough to handle and grow on
