Netto seeds - Mesembryanthemum Mixed

dannie

Has anybody grown this half hardy annual?

Mesmbryanthemum spp. was recommended to me so am I right that mine are these? spp meaning any from this family?

Thanks.

Yes, you've got what was recommended, just a mixture of varieties in one packet.

I grew these from seed quite a few years ago. They liked the dry, chalky soil I had at the time and grew well ( I did grow them in pots first before planting out as they're frost tender).

Just be aware that they only flower in direct sunlight, so be sure to plant them in a bed that gets a lot of sun; and plant them close together as they don't grow very big and you risk getting the 'dotted' effect.

Thanks conradmum - looking forward to growing these.
