Soaked seeds in CAPE smoke primer for 24 hours. Planted in a mix of WonderGrow Reground and River Sand - just barely damp.
48 hours later and I have 15+ sprouting! I will update more later! =)
UPDATE: The CAPE smoke primer makes a huge difference. I now have about 22 of these guys growing under light... Will be transplanted to a very sunny but rain-sheltered area outside after the final frost. WOOT!! | | Neutral | Crimson | On Feb 21, 2003, Crimson from Clarksville, TN (Zone 6b) wrote: Tender Perennial for zones 9-10. Prefers a full sun, sheltered from strong winds site and very deeply dug, dry, sandy soil (wet kills it!). Before sowing, soak the seed for 24 hours, then sow žin deep and protect from excess wet by covering the area with a plastic sheet. Ground temp. should be around 65-70F when sowing. It did not survive being dug up and moved inside for the winter.... perhaps not enough sun. I had to protect it during the rainy season and and any time it started to get too damp it immediately got sickly looking, it was definately a desert plant. | | Positive | mystic | On Aug 31, 2002, mystic from Ewing, KY (Zone 6a) wrote: I have really enjoyed this plant this year. I have tried to grow it for 2 years this year I experimented with the seeds and mixed some sand in my starter mix. The ones I planted in the starter mix and sand germintated the ones in just starter mix didn't. I think to since we have had such a hot dry summer has helped it to bloom too. |
