Barnhaven seed strains
Barnhaven auriculas: Our Barnhaven border auricula and double auricula strains have been line-bred for years in a huge range of colours which means the seed strains will come true. i.e if we cross a red border with another red border we are sure to get seeds that will produce red borders.
Double auriculas can also set seed however semi-double or single forms with double genes are also used as they produce more pollen so there may be a few singles in the mixture you receive.
Flowering period: Mid-spring- early summer.
Culture: They are very easy to grow as long as you ensure they are in a free-draining spot in part-shade. They look best in large pots, troughs or planted in groups at the edge of a border or rockery. They can be divided every two or three years as they tend to get a bit leggy. Some will cultivars will produce quite a lot of seed.
