50+ Arkwright’s Catchfly ‘Orange Gnome’ Seeds

Description: ‘Orange Gnome’ is a dwarf cultivar that grows to 12” tall and as wide, and features dark bronze foliage and orange-red flowers in summer. It is considered by some nurseries to be a shorter version of the similar L. ‘Vesuvius’. It features ovate to lance-shaped leaves (to 2.5” long) that are bronze green. Orange-red flowers (to 1.5” across) with notched petals bloom in cymes in early summer. Flowers are followed by interesting seed pods that mature to brown. Best grown in moderately fertile, well-drained soils with consistent and even moisture in full sun. Tolerates poorer soils with some dryness. Sharp soil drainage is essential. Although perennial, plants may be somewhat short-lived and are sometimes grown as annuals. Raised plantings and winter mulches may promote longer plant life. Plants may self-seed in the garden.
