Good plant #48 - Symphyandra Pendula

Although I am not a fan of biennials, this plant is worth the wait.  Hundreds of white bell shaped flowers on a bushy  plant.  This is perfect for a sunny well drained border - even an alpine border.

I plant the seeds in a soil based compost in late April and they flower the next year.  This plant is a prolific self seeder and I just re-pot a few ready for next year.

Slugs don't seem to like this plant - yipee!
