Hacquetia epipactis Thor or Variegata
« on: March 09, 2012, 01:12:59 AM »
Does anyone know the difference between Hacquetia epipactis Thor and Variegata?

I have what looks like two plants now. When and how do I divide Hacquetia?

This is part of Thor looking great today.

Mine are not as much into leaf here, Mark. I divide at this time of year - a knife and cut pieces off the side of the clump.

Mark, please be careful do not break into small pieces, they die easily then. A little larger so it is nice. I've learned the hard way. Early spring, I have divided my plants.
 From what I know, variegata and Thor is the same plant.
