500x Collinsia Heterophylla Chinese Houses Seeds - Stunning Bicolor Blooms

The lovely annual Collinsia Heterophylla, commonly known as Chinese Houses, is praised for its distinctive bicolour blooms and tiered, architectural growth. Each seed yields tiny, tubular flowers with vivid purple and white tones that resemble the roofs of ancient pagodas. Chinese Houses like well-drained, fertile soil and frequent watering to promote rapid growth, and they thrive in full sun to light shade. These plants give vivid colour and vertical interest to borders, cottage gardens, and wildflower meadows. They are simple to grow from seed and improve the environment of the garden by drawing pollinators like butterflies and bees. Collinsia Heterophylla combines elegance, durability, and long-lasting flowering to provide low-maintenance beauty for any garden.

Growing Instructions:

Collinsia Heterophylla (Chinese Houses) can be effectively grown by starting seeds indoors in seed trays covered with bright, well-draining compost between February and April. Because seeds need light to germinate, plant them thinly on the surface and gently push. Germination usually happens in 10–14 days, so keep the compost moist and at a temperature of 18–20°C. After there is no longer a chance of frost, move seedlings into separate pots once they have two to three genuine leaves, and let them harden off outside in May. Plant 20–25 cm apart in full sun to partial shade in rich, well-drained soil. To ensure that their gorgeous bicolour layers continue to bloom throughout the summer, water them frequently, minimise waterlogging, and remove any faded flowers.
