Saltugilia is a charming wildflower native to desert and arid regions, showcasing slender stems and vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers. Its blossoms, often a radiant blue or purple, are adapted to attract pollinators under harsh sunlight, while its foliage is typically sparse, a trait that minimizes water loss. The plant thrives in sandy or rocky soils, displaying resilience in nutrient-poor conditions.
Propagation:
Saltugilia is primarily propagated via seed sowing, with cuttings and division being rare. Successful propagation requires bright indirect light, temperatures of 18-24°C (65-75°F), and well-draining soil. Seeds need 2-3 weeks of stratification at 1-4°C (35-40°F) before sowing.
