PR2409 MADONNA SNOWDROPAnemone Seeds

Packet is 40 seeds.
How to Plant ANEMONE SeedsSow seeds in cell packs or peat pots, press into soil and barely cover. Kept at 60-65 degrees F., germination usually occurs within 4-5 weeks. If not, put container inside a zip-lock and place in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. Remove container and return to 60-65 degrees F. to germinate. Comments: Rose Beauty is grown in full sun to part shade, Madonna needs part to light shade. Both appreciate regular water. Plants spread by undergound stolons and can form colonies, especially in moist, sandy soils. Thin as needed in spring. Chilling instructions provided as a precaution, our experience is that chilling is not often required.
