Schizopetalon

This Chilean Native annual has its natural habitat at coastal areas with sandy/rocky soils and in meadows at full sun.

The...Read Morere is another species, Schizopetalon walkeri, who's only visible difference is the height of the plant (double the height of Schizopetalon walkeri, ie., 40 cm).

These plants grow very fast and flower during Spring. They require very much light, regular watering (do not overwater) and well drained soil and look best if planted very close to each other. Dead-head if you want to avoid re-seeding.

Propagation: direct sowing (you may want to mix seeds with sand to distribute them more evenly - rate 1:3). Lovely in hanging baskets!
