BLACK BEAUTY CHRISTMAS ROSE
SKU: 3-005
4.49 off
Description
Available for a limited time.
Type: Perennial, evergreen foliage
Height: 18"
Location: Part or full shade
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per pack: 5
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as Helleborus seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 3-4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 6-8 weeks. Then bring them to a cool room (approximately 12°C, 54°F) for 6-8 weeks. If they are not growing they will need a second cold period, cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for another 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the second cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool (12-15C, 54-59F) room for them to germinate. This double cold period is not always needed, but sometimes necessary, and is very normal for these seeds. Germination is in 30-90 days after the second warming period, sometimes longer.
