I have tried to grow it several times here with no real luck. I wonder if they need a really cold snap for better germination? I think the blue flower looks stunning and seems to be a little more subtle than the hybridised ones which we can easily obtain. Heres hoping Spring arrives with you soon!Paul Hervey-Brookeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368071215772680162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256152761252607238.post-71171419596922104582010-04-13T22:09:53.447+01:002010-04-13T22:09:53.447+01:00The white flowered form of Epilobium, which we cal...The white flowered form of Epilobium, which we call fireweed here, is still coveted by many gardeners even though, as you say, it spreads with abandon. It is a common roadside weed here and an urban myth says that when the fireweed has finished blooming, winter will follow in six weeks. I've had my fill of winter, still plenty of snow here.<br /><br />Christine in AlaskaChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.com
