I recently received some seeds from HansJ of Hippeastrum harrisonii, I looked on google on how to grow them having never grown these from seed before. Some say germinate them in tepid water, some on the surface of damp compost, I decided to try both methods. I checked on them every other day and watered or added water when needed. I checked again this evening and some of the seeds in the water have germinated while the ones on the compost have not done much at all. I might try the water meathod with other bulb seeds.
It is great to see that now seedlings from my seeds are growing all over the world Hans
Seed germination rate this year about 10%. This is average for many years. Perhaps just throwing the seed on the garden would improve things?
Of course, you could sow in pots to start with and throw any ungerminated ones onto the garden as a mulch top dressing where they may still produce something.
