Seed of Scoliopus bigelovii: Seeds should not be allowed to dry out, but also should not be kept wet. They can be sown now in a well-drained medium that is high in humus. Seeds should be covered with 1/2-1/4" potting medium or grit. Keep in a cool shaded place until Fall, then start watering in about October to November. Keep frost-free. Alternately, they can be stored in very slightly damp vermiculite until fall, then sown as directed. They usually germinate promptly as temperatures drop. From Dell Sherk: 11. Seed of Eucomis comosa hybrids, mixed. Thank you Alberto and Diana !! Best wishes, Dell --Dell Sherk, Director, Pacific BX
