Heliopsis helianthoides (Oxeye) [15 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for gardeners who are experienced with seeds that may require (or at least benefit from) a chilling period. The easiest approach is to sow the seeds in a pot in fall to midwinter, surface sown or just barely covered with growing medium. Set them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring.

If you sow after January, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 2 months.

It is possible that these seeds could germinate if you sow them in warm, moist, bright conditions (though perhaps at a less than optimal percentage). But if you try that and no seedlings appear within 3 to 4 weeks, then try the 2-month artificial chilling period.

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

Please read the description as well before ordering.
