Hesperantha baurii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a well-drained soil in a sunny position[200]. This species should grow well in a moist peaty soil[90]. This species is not very hardy in Britain, but where temperatures seldom fall below freezing the corms can be successfully grown at the foot of a south facing wall or in a south facing border[1, 200]. Plants from the higher alttudes of its range should be frost hardy[90]. Plant the corms about 10 - 15cm deep and give them a good mulch in winter[200]. Lift and dry off the corms when the growth dies down and store them in a cool place until it is time to replant them[200]. Corms can also be planted in spring, they will flower in the summer and can then be dug up in the autumn and stored in a cool frost-free place over winter[200]. The flowers open in the early evening and emit a sweet clove-like perfume[245]. For further Hesperantha baurii gardening information |
