UNIQUENESS OF SKELETON FLOWERS
While all of these characteristics and preferences may seem
quite on the level, it’s when it rains that this pretty flower displays its
uniqueness. Due to the delicate nature of the petals, rainfall turns its little
petals completely clear! Its petals become transparent and glisten like glass
with the effects of a little H2O! Skeleton plant grows from thick rhizomes and
produces a 16-inch tall plant with a possible 3 foot spread over time. Skeleton
flowers are sensitive to sunlight and should be grown where protection from
midday sun is complete. The ideal skeleton flower growing conditions are in
partial to complete shade, humus rich soil and well drained, but moist, soil.
The plant is an understory specimen that is nourished by the constant supply of
organic material from upper story plants and consistent moisture.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF SKELETON FLOWERS
You can plant skeleton flowers in
containers or in ground. Prepare the soil to ensure good drainage and add
plenty of compost. Container bound plants benefit from the addition of peat
moss. Diphylleia will die back in winter. If you live in zones 4 to 9, it
should survive freezing temperatures with a light layer of mulch. Plants grown
in USDA zones below 4 should container garden the plants and bring them indoors
at the end of summer to overwinter. Wintering pots need less water during their
dormant period. Increase watering as spring approaches and acclimate the plant
over several days before installing outdoors full time. In most cases, caring
for skeleton flower plants is low maintenance. They will benefit from a diluted
plant food in early spring and dead foliage should be cut off to allow new
leaves to unfurl unimpeded
