| Does anyone know what the seed of amsonia hubrectii looks like? Are they little brown tube shaped objects (about 1/4 inch long) resembling cattails? I am not sure as the seed pod does not seem to go with flower shape. Thanks for the help |

| Yes, thats the seed, and you're right, it doesn't look like the pod you might expect from that flower type to me either. They germinate pretty easily after a moist chill of 6 or more weeks. Druse suggests nicking then chilling, but I did not nick (not that it would hurt) and germination was fine, more seedlings than I needed. |

| thank you so much for the response... I am planning on wintersowing it, so it should be happy. Thanks for the suggestion of nicking the seeds. |
