BEAR'S BRITCHES
This perennial is exotic-looking, though fully hardy in zones 4-10. Plants form large clumps, expanding each year, and producing large sturdy spikes of pink flowers. Careful when touching them, as the flowers have a few spikes! These plants form a deep root system, and do not like to be moved (similar to many varieties of Rhubarb), so be sure to plant them in a location that they will permanently grow. Though many sources have surprisingly listed this plant as zone 5, we successfully grew it in zone 4 for many years without any problems at all, and no extra protection was required. We now grow it in zone 4/5, again with no issues.

GERMINATION

Place your container at room temperature, and be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout in 6-8 weeks.

UNITED STATES SHIPPING
Ferri Seeds ships to the USA regularly, though unfortunately not through the Etsy platform. Etsy rules don't allow anyone outside of the US, to sell seeds to the US. This is an Etsy rule only. We do ship to USA, just not through Etsy.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
Sorry we do not ship internationally on any of our sites.
LIMITED SUPPLY
Shop early for best selection! Due to inventory shortages, and increased demand worldwide, many seeds sell out quickly and we may not be able to obtain more for some time. Thank you for your understanding.
IMPORTANT
Your seeds are best planted right away. If you are not able to, they are best stored in a plastic zipper bag and placed in a dry cold location or refrigerator until you are ready to plant them. Be sure they are clearly labelled.
Do not eat the seeds or any part of the plants that they produce. Due to the fact that about 80% of all plant species are not edible (contain toxins/poisons of some kind) these are likely to be poisonous. Ornamental use only.
