Hepatica seeds 2022

<< < (2/7) > >>

MarcR:
Gabriela,

You are quite correct that Hepatica germinate best with 4-6 weeks at 20c followed by a move to 4C until germination occurs.  I think the theory behind cold storage is that without the initial period at 20C, the seeds will not germinate in the cold.

Hepatica seeds are best planted fresh; and do NOT store well in warm temperatures.  By putting them immediately into storage at 4C, one both keeps them from germinating and keeps them from spoiling.

Was looking at my bed, and saw this. This a Hepatica?

Seeds that have germinated in the past usually have a dark brown/purple/green mix of colors to cotyledon

Guff:
Last year I had collected seeds and planted in another spot. These Hepatica seedlings?

ashley:
Yes Guff, I'd say so.  For comparison, here are this year's seedlings of H. nobilis:

Guff:
Ashley thanks.

Under lights and cool temps will Hepatica seedlings continue to put up new leaves? Just wondering if it's worth trying to grow some through the winter in my basement with the next batch of seeds.

Thanks for info
