| Most brug seed is very easy to germinate and can be planted at anytime though the fresher the seed the better. I soak them in water overnight to soften the corky covering. After soaking remove the cork and just press the seed into the soil, barely covering it. Keep the soil lightly moistened but not soggy or the seeds may rot. Most will sprout within a few weeks but I have had some germinate after several months. I'd start them in pots and transplant to the garden when they are big enough to handle. In zone 10 you will likely get blooms in the first year. I'm in zone 7a and it usually takes until the second season for my brugs from seed to bloom. |
