$9.50

(Tweedia sp) 4 inch pot

omg, don’t pass this up! Tweedia ‘Pure Blue’ is a fabulous new Japanese Tweedia available to us this year! (and desperately needs some new glamor shots, these photos are from the breeder). It has the purest blue color, and a rounder, more desirable flower shape. Said to resemble the flower shape of Cynoglossum, which we also love. It will be our first year growing, so grow with us!

PLANT SPACING:
unknown
PLANT TYPE:
Hardy Annual
VASE LIFE:
5-7 days
HARVEST:
Tweedia is in the milkweed family and will emit a milky sap when cut. We suggest you harvest in the coolest part of the day and let your cut stems hydrate in the cooler overnight before you need them. If you are having a hard time with wilting stems, a heat treatment to the cut end of the stem will often seal off the sap and help with hydration.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Rich, deep, loamy, moist, well-drained soil.

Now that we are looking at nothing but soil, some straggly bits of irrigation and the longest to-do list ever, we like to head back to the archives.  Our mid-summer garden enjoying some heavy moisture in the air.

I met Beth Mullins of GROWSGREEN Landscape Design during my time at The Ruth Bancroft Garden.  We would talk about stately Agaves and soft Acacias and all things Protea. When I found out she was also a ceramic artist, we immediately started scheming
