pasque flower sowing

12 years ago

I have a single native pasque flower that has produced seeds and want to plant them. I read that the seed must be planted fresh and needs light. Has anyone done this successfully? I'm thinking flats of milled spaghnum moss covered with plastic. Any other ideas?

My instructions say: "Sow in fall or cold stratify, cool moist soil in sun or part shade". Says nothing about needing light. Fresh will still apply in fall, it means this years crop. The middle of summer seems like a really bad time to try to germinate most seeds but you could try an experiment if you have plenty.

Hi Northerner! I've got some Buddleia seeds I was going to turf but you might like them. They are from last year and there's lots. They come from a Buddleia which is lavender in colour and grows to 9 feet each season. Or you can wait for fresh seeds if you like. I also noticed you have Lynchnis Flo Jovis on your list. I have lots of fresh seeds from this year. In return, I would like to try California Poppies and the annual pink poppies you have. If this is fine with you, send me an e-mail. :O) Thanks!
