sowing times

Hello Shmuel,

Having received seeds from Silverhill I asked the same question as you
did. 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
