Growing from Seed

Bunny Tail grass seedling

11 years ago

I start Bunny Tail grass indoor. I put them near windowsill. They sprout and have 2 tiny thin long leaves. When should I put them outside? The weather is up and down. Now is -10c.
They will die if I put them out now. They probably will die if I put them out later ( 3 or 4 weeks) when the weather is OK?
Thanks.

-10 is too cold for this Mediterranean native. Keep them inside until it is at least +5 ish consistently. Make sure you harden them off before you put them outside. In the meantime keep them as cool as indoors allows. Do you have something like a glass porch or unheated room?

Sounds as if you started them way too early. Might want to make a note of that and wait a few weeks longer next year.
