Wood-carving Leafcutter Bee (Magachile ligneseca)
Silene birgittae
The plants we offer have been grown by us from seed collected by Pascal Bruggman in India.
As far as we are aware we are the first nursery to offer this plant in cultivation.
A high alpine species native to E. Himalaya to S. Tibet that grows in rock crevices. Produces rosettes of narrow,
lanceolate foliage and short stems that carry single, unusually large, white, nodding, spherical calyces
with prominent ribs strikingly picked out in deep brown-purple. Plants are short lived but will produce
plenty of seeds and will self-seed when happy. Flowering May. Height 12 cm.
Sun to part shade in moisture retentive but well-drained soil.
