Dear Arnold, As soon as the Galanthus elwesii seedpods open (end of April here) they are sown. In the open ground under pine trees. Slightly work the top layer and put the seed on. Apply 2cm (1") of compost mulch, water it to fix it. Then leave it to nature. Seeds will germinate dec-january. Its takes 3-4 years to flowering without disturbance. The sowing of april 2001 has about diaeter of 10mm. Mind you it dosnot wok every year as I could not find any bulbs of last year seed. But it is worth trying. Good luck Arnold wrote: Could you please elaborate on the sowing of galanthus. I have tried for years to sow the hundreds of seed pods that I get each year and have had no success. -- Lauw de Jager BULB'ARGENCE, 30300 Fourques, France Site: http://www.bulbargence.com/
