Someone here may have an answer for you, but your better bet would be rec.gardens. Diana "Rene Blom" wrote in message ...

Hi Rene: Many of the above will be warm (about 20C)-cold (about 0C)-warmer(about 10C) germinators. They will require 2-6 weeks at each temperature. I prefer to sow Ericaceae on milled sphagnum moss and coarse sand in equal proportions. The pots should receive no direct sunlight. Keep moist. Epigea repens is native here in New England, resents being disturbed and is very slow to establish. It is well worth growing. Good luck. |
