Datisca cannabina (False Hemp) [50 Seeds]

NOTE: I can’t believe I have to repeat this information multiple times in this listing, but apparently I do: DO NOT ORDER THIS SEED THINKING YOU ARE BUYING SEEDS OF CANNABIS!!!!! This plant is NOT Cannabis sativa. As I clearly indicate in the title and text, it is Datisca cannabina. That is not some kind of secret code name; it is a completely different genus and species in a completely different botanical family. If you buy it anyway expecting to get Cannabis, do not send me nasty messages demanding your money back. Now, on to the the growing information for this fascinating ornamental plant…

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, partly because they are extremely tiny, requiring careful handling, and partly because their germination can be slow, requiring patience. Surface-sow (do not cover) the tiny seeds as evenly as possible over growing medium, gently press them into the surface, and keep moist in a warm, bright place for germination.

Be aware that sprouting may be slow and irregular, occurring over a period of many months. If no seedlings appear after a month or so of warmth, you could consider placing the pot in a plastic bag and refrigerating it for about a month before moving it back to warmth and light. I occasionally find seedlings of this plant in my garden, so it’s possible for them to self-sow in less than ideal conditions. But in general, I advise giving the tiny seeds close attention and good care so they don’t dry out or get washed away by careless watering or heavy rain.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.
