Seed Propagation of Hardy Succulents

By BlueFox
July 15, 2010

I propagate hardy succulents such as Sempervivum, Jovibarba and Rosularia from seed to give me a chance of getting some exciting new types as well as a very economical way to get lots of plants. Using seed is a way to get many choices, some of them different and unusual. Sometimes you get lots of very similar types, but that’s okay; use them in tapestry beds, mosaics and other crafts.

I don't want to spend a ton of money like the commercial sellers charge. Interested in some trading around with people who have some cuttings or seed for flowering hardy succulents or cacti. I have texas larkspur seeds in fall, some tiny cactus seeds I have not propagated, and this and that. I can probably get some little century plants that could be mailed for $3.50 or so as first class pkgs.
