Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra ‘Burning Hearts’ (Oxeye) [15 Seeds]

Germination Information: One approach is to sow the seeds in a pot in fall to midwinter, just barely covered with growing medium. Set them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring.

It is also quite possible that these seeds could germinate if you sow them in warm, moist, bright conditions. In fact, I started the parents of these seeds by sowing on March 20 and setting the pot on a heat mat, and the first seedlings appeared in just 4 days. They may take several weeks, however, so be patient. If no seedlings appear after about 4 weeks, then try setting the pot in a plastic bag in your refrigerator for about 2 months before moving it to a warm, bright place for germination. (Remove the bag if the pot will be exposed to any direct sun.)

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