Trachelium, also known as neckwort, is an elegant plant notable for its large, spherical flower heads. The flowers consist of thousands of small, tubular florets and make a beautiful filler for both bouquets and the garden.
The Dutch name, halskruid, is derived from the Greek word 'trachelos', meaning 'neck'. The roots of the plant were formerly used for medicinal purposes for sore throats and other ailments of the throat and trachea.
The most commonly grown species, Trachelium caeruleum, is a perennial in milder climates, but is often grown as an annual in colder regions.
Due to the very fine seeds, it is recommended to sow Trachelium indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost.
The seeds need light to germinate. Sow them on the surface of moist, well-draining potting soil and do not cover them. Press them down gently.
Germination takes about 2 to 3 weeks at a constant temperature of 17-21°C.
Trachelium thrives best in full sun to light shade and in well-drained, fertile soil that is kept slightly moist.
Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Regular watering is especially important during warm weather.
Trachelium is generally quite hardy, but watch out for aphids, thrips, bacterial diseases and fungal infections, especially in humid conditions.
