The reply I got was exactly what was stated. Winter growing bulb seed might germinate now but with warmer temperatures approaching they will not have time enough to build up a bulb big enough to survive the first dry summer. Watering a dormant seedling pot may kill the dormant bulb as well. So it is better to store the seed of winter growers until let's say October. > > My personal experience in storing seed of winter growing plants like Gladiolus and Albuca is very good, in general this seed is surprisingly long lived. > > Seed of all those plants which will not go dormant in summer can be sown now. > > Good success! > > > Uli > > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
