89694
Not really sure. I planted them beginning of spring. It's been a year haven't seen a bloom yet of any color

I planted mine in a pot in early spring, in a place that got plenty of light. The temperature ranged from 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. This website gives some good tips: http://www.gardens.com/flower-gardening/growing-a-camellia-from-seeds-in-7-steps.html

camellia seeds are planted at september-october keep the seeds in water until they crack(should take couple of days) after they are cracked pat them dry gently plant the seeds:fill half or 3/4 of your empty container with soil put the seeds( for a small sized container like a cup, put 1 or 2 seeds in it) on the soil. then cover the seeds 1/2-1 inch with prefarably turfed soil . press the soil firmly to make sure the seeds are planted good water right after planting. it takes time to grow them from be patient:) the tecnicalities are not very important when you love and give attention every plant will grow beautifully. have a nice day!

The time to plant depends on where you live.If you google "how do I plant camellia seeds" you'll get a lot of good advice.(But please note, these are not camellia seeds. Read the comments.)

sorry, I cannot answer that as I have not had any luck with these seeds, it was an incredibly disappointing year with many seeds I tried and I followed the directions exactly. And the ones that did germinate didn't mature :-( I would recommend getting starters from a local nursery, make sure you have both male and female and expect to wait up to seven years to get flowers and maybe longer for fruit. Best of Luck with your garden! Keep trying!

Hi, Brandie, sorry you're having difficulty opening the PDF Planting, Sprouting and Storing Guide. You may just have a very slow Internet connection. You don't really have to do anything to the seeds before planting them. Just follow the guidelines that are presented in the guide. Proper soil temperature, proper depth and spacing is all you need to pay attention to. If you want your seeds to germinate quickly, you can soak them before planting them into the ground or a pot. If you decide to soak your seeds to speed up the germination process, you just fill a bowl about 2-3" deep with lukewarm water. Then place the seeds into the water for 24 hours. I don't leave them for any more than 48 hours as you can drown them. I really recommend 24 hours. After you soak them you should plant them right away...the same day you remove them from the water is best.

I'm not an expert but I think if you cover the seed and keep it moist. But generally early spring and late summer is the accepted norm.

I've lived in Charleston, SC and now live in WV. I've been more successful starting seeds using gentle bottom heat in a controlled environment. You don't want too much heat and too much moisture. Suggest you try using a basic plant starter tray either placing it in a safe shady spot outside or warm spot inside. Keep it away from direct sunshine as the heat will dry the planting medium. Gentle moisture and gentle heat are the key.

it depends what you are planning to plant... everything should be written on the packages with seeds... I live in Texas and I planted some herbs in December-Jan...

I have a friend who grew them in Ohio and they grew well. They are in a regular package with plenty of seeds to start out with. They are a cousin to the morning glory so they go away in the winter totally so collect seed in the fall to reseed in the spring. They reseed the area well and replanting is sometimes not necessary.

Yes! That's how they are supposed to arrive. Plant the whole crown, with just the tiny dried sticks above the dirt (if there are any). I planted mine in May and had fruit in the fall. They are already fruiting for this year.

these grow slow....start in pots with peat and let the seed sit barely covered (yeah seeds are small)...leave in pots for a while, at least 9-10 inches tall, and transplant. the longer they get in the ground the better roots establish so start seeds as early as possible. i got a 20 seed packet and only 5 germ. and got established (that is a good result)...as long as the root bed gets established, they have a better chance of winter survival. i lost 2 because of a really bad ice storm that ruined the root bed because they werent established enough....still, better have a green thumb for Eucalyptus...not for beginners

Follow the almanac as to when to plant. I do small alternating trays for juicing.

You can start from seed, I would recommend using a rockwool cube or similar substrate however, as leaving a seed in the pebbles will probably result in overwatering/rotting/or lack of germination.

Soak seeds overnight then sow it in a pot and cover pot in plastic. Keep it moist until the seed germinate.

It depends on what you will use the seeds for, if they are to eat you should pick them when they are green and young and tender, if you want to plant them you should wait until they are dry and brown.

Actually, it's very easy. Since I chose several packages of bulbs, I decided to plant them in a oblong flower pot, like some people put on window sills. I had more than enough room in a pot this size. I used regular, packaged plant soil, but put styrofoam small pieces in the bottom, for drainage. In the winter, the shamrocks prefer less light and less water. So at this time, I water once every other week and in a lesser lighted area, inside. During the spring, summer and fall months, I have the box in full sunlight and water once a week, well. Good luck and have fun with these shamrocks. Actually, it's very easy.

I can't give you specifics as to your area but they grow in Central Massachusetts as annuals. They get rather large by the end of summer so save the seeds and start over in the early spring.

Hi Juliette The instructions are in the plastic tray beneath the top part of the plastic tray with the pods. Anyway I will give them to you. Remove the netting from each soil pod and then add 3 oz of warm water to each pod. Let then sit for 15 minutes and then remove 1/3 or so of the top of the soil. Pour the seeds in each and cover with the soil that was removed. It takes about 4 to 6 days to germinate. I would let it grow to about 2 inches before giving to the kitty. Kathy Mullen

soak in water, preferably boiled, squeeze out most of the water, put the seed in the hole, tear off a small piece of the sponge and plug the hole just well enough to cover the hole but not too tight, put it in a sealed humidity container ( paper cup covered with cling wrap) and give it a few days. You can presoak the seeds and wait for a taproot to appear but it's not usually necessary.
