HAVE: Amsonia seeds- excellent germination

19 years ago

While cleaning up the garden last week I noticed many seedpods on the Bluestar (Amsonia). It's probably either "hubrichtii" or "tabernaemontana"-- I can't remember the leaf shape from late last summer when we moved here.

Anyway, after soaking the seeds in warm water and kelp overnight, I had about 90% germination with bottom heat. In the past I've tried commercial Amsonia seeds and had NO germination. So, these freshly stratified seeds are definitely viable.

I have four trades of 15 cleaned seeds for sase. Please e-mail me off-board. Because of the uncertain variety/hardiness, zones 5 or 6 will be preferred.
