Flamingo Feather, organic

Eco

Information

Produces beautiful, 10–12 cm long, pink spikes with a slight silver tone. The stems are 60–90 cm high. Flamingo Feather is beautiful at the back of the flower bed and also excellent as a cut flower and in dried arrangements. It can be topped at 15–30 cm to get a denser growth habit, but this delays the flowering a bit. Lower temperatures and less than 12 hours of daylight can cause premature flowering. Organic seeds.
