Last seeds of 2022
As we slowly approach the end of the year, it is time to announce the last seeds added to the Seeds List in the 2022 season.
They are all in rather limited quantities, due to the dry season and pollination problems; we can only hope for better conditions next year.
Centaurea jankae, presented last week
A few species in very limited quantities: Gypsophila tenuifolia (new), Acanthus hungaricus, Calycanthus floridus
Bukiniczia cabulica
Swertia perennis, garden cultivation
And, a surprise: Swertia perennis (cold/moist stratification). This is definitely a collector’s item worth having it in the garden besides other moist-loving species.
Like every year, various species are already out of stock and the moist-packed seeds are out of reach.
But it is still a good time to sow species that require moist/cold stratification; I am also doing it right now, follow the advice: Sowing in late fall/winter
As soon as I finish arranging images in plates, we will talk about the Gibberellic acid – now also available for purchase.
I want to show an easy way to prepare a GA3 solution without the need to use a precision balance. In my opinion, it gives better results and it is easier to use than the powder.
Gentiana lutea (older seeds) are having an excellent germination after such a treatment.
