Name
Beesia caltha
What you get
You will receive a fully rooted 9cm pot.
About
Beesia caltha is a great little plant for a shady spot. It has waxy, dark green leaves that are heart shaped and little star like flowers that are white in colour. A plant that comes into its own when planted with ferns to add some evergreen contrast.
Planting and care
Best planted in moist semi shade.
Soil
Free draining soil is important, and adding organic matter helps with this. Organic matter helps retain moisture in sandy soils and opens up the structure of clay soils to stop them from becoming water logged. A good mulch will also keep down weeds.
Uses
Great plants for the shady garden border, woodland planting, creating a fernery or as pot plants for a shady spot.
