Description: Aristea Capitata Synonyms: Aristea major, Blue Sceptre, Blousuurkanol A herbaceous perennial from South Africa that will form thick clumps of evergreen, iris-like sword-shaped leaves year round, which stand upright to 1.5 meters. The bright indigo blue flowers are fragrant and each are about 1" wide with purple stamens and yellow anthers. They bloom on multiple (up to 8) 3-5 foot tall flower stalks. They are pollinated by bees, attract butterflies and only appear in spring, followed by attractive dry flower stems. Plant in full sun or semi-shade and a rich soil that is well drained, but not too dry and sandy. A very hardy species to at least 15 degrees F (maybe as low as 10° F). As an alternative it may be container grown in less favorable areas. They don't love being divided, or moved, and the best way to propagate them is by seed. Quite a low maintenance plant and is normally very easy to grow - great for beginner gardeners! Family: Iridaceae (the Iris family) This offer is for 10 seeds. For complete transparency we include payment processing & Ebay fees in our shipping/handling cost.*DISCLAIMER*NO RETURNS/REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS ON SEEDSMost specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. These factors are totally out of The Plant Attraction's control and are the buyer's responsibility and risk. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or mistakes. Since 2006 we have been doing our best to hand sort and provide the freshest, cleanest harvest that is free of defects and bugs.
