Lilac Painted Lady

Dwarf shrubs with spindly leaves and delicate, pale-purple flowers with deeper purple inner petals. They are suitable for mass-planting or even for use as cutflowers.

We recommend the use of Wildflower Seed Starter Granules for improved germination rates and speed. These granules provide chemicals normally found in bushfire smoke that stimulate native seed germination.

When to plant: All year except in hottest or coldest weather.
How to grow: Sow in warm areas anytime. In frost prone areas after danger of frost is over. Place seeds in a cup of hot water. Leave overnight then drain and sow. Fill small pots or trays with moist sandy soil, wet thoroughly and compress. Sow 2-3 seeds 6mm (¼in) deep in each pot. It is beneficial to add Wildflower Seed Starter granules to soil surface. Keep soil moist – don’t cover seed. Cover pots with clear polythene – remove when germination commences. Place in warm shaded position to germinate fully. Some seeds are swollen and germinate faster. As soon as seedlings emerge or a tap root appears at the base of the container plant into permanent position. Water in well and regularly until established. Thin out to strongest seedling at each planting position when about 8cm (3in) high. Do not use any fertilizer.
