Just saw the seed heads screaming at me and I harvested and got v excited. Then realised I had no clue how or when to sow and how long they would take!!!!
I sowed some gazania bronze and for some reason they came up and then lifted themselves in top of the seed compost root and all, just laying there on top - confused.com!!!
Nutcutlet that's what all have said, at work. I have 2 in the garden and as yet no life! Hope I haven't wasted money. Took seed as insurance policy. Even stabbed myself trying to get the damn stuff out the cone! Blood everywhere lost lots of seed to my own blood! Eugh!!
Mine only current one, I bought it last year, was dug up and potted in autumn on advice from this forum and spent the worst of the winter in the cold greenhouse. I await signs of life.
The Verbena I am sending you Mandy will be much better than the last lot. I chucked some in a pot and abandoned it on the 20th of Feb and they germinated in a cold greenhouse on the 27th of March.
I knew my nerdyness for seed sowing and germination would come in handy sometime hehe
Holly - I have 2 late winter cuttings that have so far made it but I want more to dot about!!
Sam- are they the rigida type. The big tall verbena I have is def alive but the squat rigida I'm just jot sure about, it's currently coarse brown leaves he he we are all mixing up names!!!
Oh! I just love the little rigida. Wondering if I should have a furtle around at my cuttings and see what's happening. Have you taken cuttings before then had leaves go partially brown but then just stay in that state??? It's most perplexing. Been around 2 months with no changes and no sign of new growth!!
