Beesia are perennial, semi herbaceous plants from mountain meadows and open spots in woods in eastern Asia. They mostly grow as ground cover plants making dense clumps with short racemes of small white flowers and showy, brilliant foliage which turns to ornamental red during autumn and spring. All are easily cultivated in any humus rich, slightly soil in a partially shaded to sunny spot. Sow seeds flat in any humus rich, slightly moist, well drained soil in pots outside in a protected spot. Seeds require a prolonged cooling period prior to germination in late spring. Carefully transplant the rhizomes in late summer to early autumn. All are USDA Climate Zone 6. 20 seeds per package. |
