Myrrhis odorata (Sweet Cicely) [10 Seeds]

Germination Information: In my experience, these are not easy seeds to germinate, so I don’t recommend buying them unless you really want to grow sweet Cicely and can’t find started plants. I tried fall or winter sowing for several years in a row, with seeds from various sources, and finally got two seedlings to sprout the second spring after sowing. To me, that confirms the advice I’ve seen in a few places about the seeds needing (or at least benefiting from) a warm period before chilling. Sowing recently collected seeds about 1/2 inch deep from mid-June to late August, outdoors in a pot or nursery bed, would give them that warm period; then winter would give them a cold period, hopefully with germination the following spring.

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