Last yer I WS one jug of echinacea and and one rudbeckia and it worked! Then this year I did more but thought they all were a bust. Only one jug sprouted. So I put some jugs aside in shade then, ta da! Two more sprouted! Then another and another, now only the rudbeckia and Americam beautyberry didn't sprout. Some say ruds are easy but for me it's always a challenge. And the Beautyberry probably takes more than a year.
It's so rewarding!
BTW someoneasked about mimulus; I started 6 pack indoors in Feb because it doesn't need cold to germinate. It grew so fast with great germination so I had blooms on the seedlings under lights. Transplanted outdoors in shady, damp area a few days ago and it's still sitting there, seeing how it likes its new home. In my zone I've heard mimulus peters out in the heat so I needed to get it outside early.
Anyone have suggestions for next year for WSing my rudbeckia?
