How we get so many
eyes on our bare root Spigelia
Spigelia m. ‘Little Redhead’
This is one of our longest field grown crops with each plant being grown in
the field for at least 1½ years. This extended period of growth gives each
plant a period of natural dormancy and the time required to develop a full,
healthy root structure.
Check out our website for detailed culture information and grower insights.
