Disporum cantoniense 'Night Heron'

Disporum cantoniense 'Night Heron'

Product number: 585892
Origin: East Asia
Latin: Disporum cantoniense

This unknown plant genus harbors many beauties, and like Solomon's Seal (a well-known relative of Disporum), Fairy Bells prefers shade, moisture, and plenty of humus. The reddish-brown leaves unfold from rapidly growing deep brown shoots, after which the cream-white bell-shaped flowers beautifully contrast with the deep dark foliage and the dark purple 100 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 give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then a cold period, for example in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature again, 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 ground is also an option; simply let them overwinter, and germination will occur in the spring.
