When you receive your seeds/bulbs you will find included with them a

OFFERINGS: PBS BX 2O
SEED:
From John Ingram:
1. Sinningia selvovii: " It is a hardy
bulb that should be planted deep to encourage hardiness. It is offered by
Plant Delights. Their description is: "Yes, it's another of the amazing
hardy gloxinias from South America. Sinningia sellovii is composed of thick
light green sandpaper-like leaves on an arching clump that can reach 20" in
height. Atop the plant in midsummer are 30" arching spikes of pendant
scarlet-orange bells. We grow our plants in our full sun-baking rock garden,
where they thrive with good drainage...very easy."
These bulbs have been evergreen for me here in SoCal but dormancy can be
encouraged by cold temps. Bulbs can get huge over time. I have 3 bulbs, the
largest is 15"+ across.
From Tom Glavich:
At least three clones of Haemanthus albiflos, randomly cross-pollinated:
2. Lot 1
3. Lot 2
4. Lot 3
Thank you, John and Tom !!
Best wishes,
Dell
