If you have a question about the available quantity, please contact me before placing your order. Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for gardeners who have experience with seeds that benefit from or require a chilling period. The easiest approach is to sow the seeds (just barely covered with growing medium) in a pot in fall to late winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing approach works very well with these seeds. Those I sowed on December 25 began germinating abundantly on April 14; your experience may vary.) If you sow after February, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 2 months. I recently ran across this interesting research paper, which discusses getting good results from nicking and soaking the seeds and then sowing warm, with sprouting within a month: Scarification and Germination of Amsonia tabernaemontana (Walt.) Seeds. (I’ll note that the URL looks odd, but I have visited the page several times with no apparent problems.) I haven’t yet tried this myself. Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive. Please read the description as well before ordering.
