antsinmypants's Plant List: Tender Perennials

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

DND's All Seeds Swap #9 (2022) - mmolyson - 2022 Native annual. Blooms September

One option is to surface-sow the seeds over a moist growing mix indoors, under lights, in early to mid-spring, or direct sow in late spring. Germination might take several weeks, though, so be patient. When I sowed in 2022, I sowed on April 7 and the first seedling didn't appear until April 25. If no seedlings appear after a month or so, consider setting the pot outside if it is still chilly at night, or give the pot an artificial chilling period of about a month. Once you get forked bluecurls going in your garden, it is likely to self-sow. That indicates that sowing in late fall to late winter and leaving the pot outdoors for sprouting in spring is another option.
