{"product_id":"593100","title":"Jeffersonia diphylla","description":"\u003cp\u003eA special shade plant that deserves some extra explanation!\n\u003cbr\u003eI cannot match the description from Kwekerij De Hessenhof; you can read about this plant on their website:\n\u003cbr\u003eOne of the few plants that is certainly as striking when sprouting as it is during flowering. The young shoots and blue-grey leaves are remarkably red. When the thick, white flower buds become visible, the contrast with the purplish-red flower stalk is greatest. When they open, we see a beautiful white flower. It seems as if a wax layer has been sprayed over it to keep the whole in this pristine state a little longer. The prominent light yellow stamens soon fall off. After flowering, this beauty disappears under highly interesting foliage that grows much taller. It is shield-shaped and has two deeply incised lobes.\n\u003cbr\u003eJeffersonia is a rare, slow-growing shade plant that, (believe it or not), is related to Berberis. The name is in honor of Thomas Jefferson, who was president of the US from 1801-1808. He was a passionate plant lover and botany interested him greatly. There are only two species of Jeffersonia: an American and an Asian species. The latter, J. dubia, is the rarest, while the other, J. diphylla, is the strongest growing. They prefer a humic, not too dry soil in the shade. Dig a deep planting hole and mix it with plenty of leaf mould. In this, they can easily last for decades.\n\u003cbr\u003eA detailed germination method can be found here: https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25319374\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Jeffersonia diphylla\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Jeffersonia\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Twinleaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"0.35 g","offer_id":44175912697909,"sku":"593100","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/593100.jpg?v=1750779837","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/593100","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
