Need light to germinate, surface sow in well drained soil. Keep 70-85 degrees, germination occurs in 14-21 days. Soil and Fertility: Dry, sandy soil of low fertility. Give it the toughest place in the garden, where nothing else will grow. Hardiness: All over the US -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rose Moss is a great nectar plant. One of those "cantkillitdigitoutoftheshrubgardenandplantitinthebutterflygarden" kinda plants. They transplant easily when they escape the lily bed, so I never worry about them popping up in the garden path. |
