Bomerea hirtella
« on: April 02, 2011, 08:10:51 PM »
Has anyone grown these from seeds?
I have some seeds but very little info on how to go about it. Do they need a cold spell, nicking, soaking etc?
All help and suggestions appreciated.

Chuck them in a pot of damp compost and up they come.....

Or if my experience is anything to go by, chuck them in a crack in the pavement and up they come (it has self-seeded against the house wall here!)

Crikey Gail, that was quick! And thanks. They really are that easy? Don't suppose that you know anything about Lapegaria rosea do you.....

They had a lovely plant growing outdoors at Highdown in Sussex but sadly that is one I've killed here....
