Fionas' Inbox

I'm currently cold stratifying (is that the verb?) some redwood seeds that came in a bonsai kit. I was wondering how the process went for anyone in this discussion. I can't seem to find much mention about it on this site.

I think it is a sidalcea which is related to our common mallow

I get the impression that each species has it's own length of cold stratification time. Maybe a search on each of your seed types will give you the exact timings for it. Good luck. Will be interested in how you get on.

Sounds like you'll be in for a busy but rewarding summer Fiona. Good luck

Looks like Cheiranthus cheiri [common name: wallflower] to me, a biennial ie. it flowers in the Spring of its second year.

Best of luck with this project Fiona. Be sure to take some before, during and after photos :)

I've got mine too and am not at all sure how cold stratifying has to be. I am going to have a go at planting mine ASAP and just hope for success...

look forward to following your progress , all the best x
