Disporum cantoniense 'Green Giant'

Product number: 585890
Origin: China, East Asia
Latin: Disporum cantoniense

This unknown plant genus harbours many beauties, this is one of the largest and is somewhat reminiscent of the more familiar Solomon's Seal. Like the latter, the Fairy Bell prefers shade, moisture, and plenty of humus. The deep green leaves unfurl from the rapidly growing rhizomes, after which the creamy white bells beautifully contrast with the dark foliage and the purple 120 cm high stems. In autumn, the flowers ripen into purplish-black berries. The plants need a few years to establish themselves properly.

Names:
Latin: Disporum cantoniense
Dutch: Elfenklokje
English: Fairy Bells

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period. Therefore, do not discard the seedlings too quickly. Sowing directly into the garden soil is also possible, then simply allow winter to pass, and germination will occur in spring.
