Seeds from Blue Hibiscus
My two plants make a lot of seeds after blooming. I gathered and

You might try scarification: rub the seed with a file or emery board to break the hard seed coat and allow water to penetrate. Emilie |

Plant is Alyogyne huegelii Seems like a nuisance to rough up those small seeds, but if that's what it takes... Could I just hit them with something hard to crack the coat?nnDon't laugh...if that will do the trick... Has anyone actually GROWN Alyogyne from seed? If not, then how? I'd think commercial growers must be able to do it...? TIA Tx |
