Post #394648

well ,after all these years ,I figured out what it was that I was doing wrong.

I was planting seeds that were not totally formed

The ones on the right are from Nellie Moser
The ones on the left are Niobe

I was out there collecting those seed heads when I suddenly saw BIG seeds on the ends of just a few.Out of 20 or so Niobe seed heads I only got a few with seeds,Nellie Moser only had 2 with a real seed.

you can see from the picture what the unformed seeds,that I've been planting all these years ,and never getting any to germinate,look like next to REAL seeds

Now it remains to be seen if I can get the real thing to grow...LOL
