| I have tried to get brugs started from seeds a couple of different times and a couple of different ways, even trying the ways I was told how from those who have started them from seeds and I failed.
Please tell me how you were successful in starting yours PLEASE....

| Hi I have tried a couple of years to get both the datura and the angel trumpets to germinate. This year I just got 3 lavender datura's threw winter sowing and one single white angel trumpet indoors. I will see how these grow this year. I did my ws between 12/21 and 1/6 this year and this just germinated 5/3. The one that germinated indoors i think was just luck. I only got one and I have single and double bloom seeds. Linda Linda |

| Hi Fran: I've had pretty good luck starting brugs from seed. I just soak the seed over night in hot water, then remove the cork like outer layer, revealing the seed inside. I use soil less seed starting mix, plant, barely cover and keep moist (usually seal inside a baggie). I've used bottom heat and found that's a big help. It does take a little patience, my recent brug plantings took a month to germinate. I will mention though, I'm using fresh seed-that may make a difference. Hope this helps! If all else fails, you can always post on the seed exchange forum that you are looking for brug cuttings...there are usually lots of friendly gardeners willing to share cuttings-and they root super easy just in water. Wishing you the best of luck! |
