Paramongaia weberbaueri seeds

You say nothing about your local conditions.

if they are the winter dormant form sow in spring in pure coarse sand in a deep pot with very good drainage holes. Once germination takes place move gradually to full sun (they grow in full sun). Careful with the waterings. The worst period is the first dormancy but seedlings are apt to keep on growing the first and second season with no dormancy inbetween. On the other hand once mature will live and flower for many years.

In summary, hot desert warm season bulb (there is a winter growing form in cultivation). Bulbs very deep in the soil, large, offsetting slowly. Dry winter dormant for a long season.

Good luck

Hi All, just got the Paramongaia seeds, now I really need someone advise on how
to grow the plant from seed. Could someone make suggestion like how to germinate
the seed and what kind of soil I should use later on. Any input will be
appreciated.

Thanks

Best regards,

Andy
