roscoea form little tubers like dahlias . I am going to sow in a deep box and keep in cold tunnel for winter. They will germinate in spring. They don't need heat.
They don't like being moved until the tubers have formed so I intend leaving them until they are 2 year old before moving to final position.
I have never seeds off this before. I thought it would be a good opportunity to bulk it up.The plants only clump up slowly. I am going to follow scottish rock plant society advice.
I am going to have some seed of roscoea cautleoides Kew beauty, shortly. These have to be sown fresh like Hellebores and take up to three years to flower. I am looking for some yellow rattle. Also I have aquilegia black Barlow type.also a frilly red one.
Fidgetbones, I've harvested some more yellow rattle and I'd love to try the roscoea please, I'll PM you.
I know you have an acanthus you saved for me, sorry I haven't organised collection. I hope to get your way but if in the meanwhile anyone else wants it, let them have it. You can't look after it for ever

I hate predictive texting. Going to change computers.

I'll see if there's any yellow rattle left fb. I should be able to find some more even if most has been shed. Bit dark now, I'll do it tomorrow.
The roscoea sounds interesting, would it need heat to see it through the winter or will it not germinate til spring?
