Seeds received in Round Robin

Remember that big trade went on in Feb, coordinated by Michelle?

From seeds received in that trade these have yet to show a glimmer: Chelone Turtlehead, Crotalaria Yellow Rattles, Clematis Sweet Autumn, Blackberry lilly, Hibiscus, Hosta, Brazilian morning glory.

All of these I shared with others on the list, so if you remember receiving these seeds from me in that trade, I would love to hear from you what and if these have germinated.

Some that I got in trade did germinate: Purple moon vine, soapwort, and (today!) Lance corporal.

thanks,

ellen

Clematis can take two years to germinate. Hardy hibiscus germinate for me in mid-May. Hosta in June.

So do I just leave the container as is all summer?
Do I keep watering it all year?

Yes, I leave mine in their container but place it in a dappled shade area with some venting. And yes, keep watering.

I have one crotolaria sprout, which surprises me. Because it hails from Africa, I wouldn't expect sprouts until it got and stayed warm. It's too early for blackberry lilies, and I don't know anything about chelone.
