Examples of seed benefitting from these treatments are plants from the pea family, such as Colutea, Cytisus, Genista, Spartium, Lespedeza, Lupinus and Robinia. Stratification

A few seeds have multiple dormancy and only germinate in their second spring after periods of both cold and warmth. Fraxinus (ash) is a typical example. Subjecting seed to a warm spell followed by cold can increase germination in the first spring after sowing. This is achieved using the techniques of warm and cold moist stratification.

All of her crops are all grown in rhythm with nature, and are completely chemical-free in a passionate effort to protect our surrounding wildlife. Catnip seeds are no exception, and the seeds were planted into cell trays containing a sterile soilless mix. Johnny’s Selected Seeds offers a Giant Hybrid Mix of dahlia seeds. This mix of dahlia seeds is supposed to produce a mix of 3-5’’ double, semidouble, and single blooms. When you should plant dahlia seeds Winter sowing is a highly successful method for starting hardy seeds that can tolerate the cold. Most hardy annuals and perennial seeds, such as catnip, will benefit from this type of planting. Place seed in a bag as above and keep in a warm place at 18-24°C (65-75°F) for up to 12 weeks, before giving a period of cold stratification

The risk is not always that the frost will kill the sweet peas, they are reasonably hardy, the problem is that the cold weather will really stunt the growth of sweet peas. A small seedling sitting just above the surface of the soil not growing is just a target for slugs and will get eaten down to a stump. Mixed colours of sweet pea flowers When were they sown? Plant the catnip seedlings into well-drained soil at least twelve to eighteen inches apart. This will allow for good air circulation, and give them enough room to grow, as the plants can grow large over time. Catnip flowers tend to have a long blooming period, and in my garden bloomed from July into September in their very first year. Both catnip and catmint are attractive to cats, although catnip has a stronger affect on felines. Cats are known to roll around in patches of both catnip and catmint, growing in the garden.

The name “catmint” and “catnip” are sometimes used interchangeably, although they are two separate species of nepeta. Seedlings in shallow seed trays need transplanting promptly; handle them carefully by holding the seed leaves, rather than the emerging true adult leaves. Seedlings in modules can be left a little longer before transplanting, allowing their roots to fill the module, and then transplanting the whole plug of roots and compost in one go. Tree seeds often do better in deep modular trays such as ‘rootrainers’. The traditional season for sweet peas isJune and July but with the right care and attention, they can be both started earlier and grown later into the season. Regular deadheading of sweetpeas can massively prolong their flowering period. How to germinate sweet peas?
