Germinating hard to start seeds
Quote:
Sometimes we all need a helping hand.
If your favorite seeds are in the “hard-to-start” category, we have tips for you on techniques to give them a hand and get growing.
The three basic methods for “encouraging” the hard-to-start seeds to germinate are:
Scarification - scar or scratch or nick the hard seed coat
Stratification - exposure to a period of cold temperatures
Soaking - hydrates seeds with tougher seed coats
Tricia demonstrates all the methods in our video, Seed Germination—Scarification, Stratification, and Soaking.
