Have managed to get lots of hippi seeds to sprout following the flotation method.
The instructions say to pot up once the sprouted bits are 1cm long.
However. Is the sprouted bit a leaf or a root? Do I put the sprouted bit facing up or facing down.
I know this sounds stupid but given I have a 50% chance of being wrong I would dearly love to know.
Also can we stratify daylily seeds and plant out at any time of year here in Brisbane?
The sprouted bit will be the root, and no its not a silly question. Leaves will come along in time. I have grown many a hippy bulb following this method and I've always had a great success. Cheers, happy hippy's Mel....
Yes Mel is right. Just make little holes in the potting mix and slip the roots in and firm up gently and water. Plant about with the original seed at ground level. I think it helps to put in larger or deeper containers coz you don't have to move them on so quickly
hi cheery mel, I have about 20 baby hippies growing from the seed you sent a while ago, thanks for that, now I just need to figure out where to put them :)
I just bought some seeds. They are still in the sheaths. What does the seed look like? I so want to try to grow some of these but am not sure of what the seeds look like. thanks
