60 Purple Locoweed Wildflower Seeds - Everwilde Farms Mylar Seed Packet

Description: XL Mylar Packet - Purple Locoweed SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet Locoweed earned its name by the unusual effect it has on grazing animals. The foliage causes particular damage to horses, though the poison does not reach a toxic level until 75 percent of the bodyweight has been consumed. In 1814, botanist Fredereck Pursh described the first known specimen of this plant in his influential publication Flora Americae Septentrionalis. Pursh obtained his specimen from the collection of John Bradbury, a Scottish naturalist well known for his explorations of western and midwestern America; Bradbury noted that he found this plant flourishing on the bluffs over the Missouri River. The genus name "Oxytropis" means "sharp keel," in reference to the sharply pointed petals. The species name "lambertii" honors Aylmer Lambert, a British botanist. Direct sow in early spring, planting the seed just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. Since these plants do not like having their roots disturbed, do not attempt to move the seedlings. For an early start, start the seed in peat pots 6-8 weeks before the last frost and carefully plant outdoors. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use. The artwork and labels on the packet are loaded with information - many people comment that it is the most beautiful packet that they have ever seen. If you have never tried out our seeds before, this is your chance to experience something special!
