Pulsatilla seed
« on: June 25, 2016, 02:20:08 PM »
Hi all
i have just acquired some fresh pulsatilla vernalis seed, can anyone tell me the best sowing compost mix and methods to use with this seed please. i wasnt sure which subgroup to put this in so opted for general. Sorry if this is wrong.
Thanks in advance Alan

Hello Alan -  if you use the "search " function, fourth from the left in the line of options at the top of each page, you will find that there are quite a lot of threads with advice .....
For Pulsatilla germination I suggest  these:

 While this thread has general seed   germination info : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=8368.0
 

Most of us are using a 50/50 soil/sand mix for seed sowing I think.....
