Organic Parthenium «Snowball»
Discovered by the late Graham Stuart Thomas in a Reading garden and named 'Snow Ball' by him, this rarely grown variant has anemone-centred white flowers and quilled ray petals from May-Aug.
It comes completely true from seed and has been preserved by a keen "Feverfew" collector of these old, cottage-garden favourites who has asked us to re-introduce it before it becomes extinct!
How to Grow
For best results, sow immediately onto a good soil-based compost. Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. They can be sown at any time, and germination can sometimes be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. We sow most seeds in an unheated greenhouse and wait for natural germination, as many seeds have built-in dormancy mechanisms, often waiting for natural spring germination, hence giving them a full season of growth.
