This refined variation of the heirloom kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate features cream splashes on its wide, pointed leaves. As the warm summer weather arrives, it shoots up, and by July, soft pink beaded catkins spill from its tall stems. Also referred to as Shiro-Gane Nishiki, it thrives in partial afternoon shade, adding a touch of elegance to back borders with its bold form and dreamy color.
10 organic seeds
KEY GROWING INFORMATION
Planting Depth: 1/16”
Seed Spacing: 1”-2”
Plant Spacing: 18”
Days to Germination: 14-18 days
Germination Temperature: 65°-70°F
KMOTGG requires a cold period to germinate reliably. Direct-sow in late fall or late winter for spring seedlings, or wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel, place them in a plastic baggie, and refrigerate them for 3-4 weeks in spring before either starting indoors or direct-sowing after the last frost date. If starting indoors, sow cold-treated seeds 1⁄8" deep in good seed-starting medium 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Provide even moisture, strong light and good ventilation. Once established, thin to the strongest seedlings. Transplant carefully to minimize root disturbance. Once 3" tall, thin or transplant seedlings 2' to 3' apart in the garden. A moderate self-seeder, you'll likely find seedlings here and there the second year. Summer flowering. Height: 4' to 7'.
