I just finished planting some seeds. I know, they will not grow, but I did it anyhow. Last year I gathered some Star Magnolia pods and dried them, took the seeds and put them in the refrig for three months. (That is what the book says stratify them for 3 months) I forgot about them and when I found them today I noticed they have tiny little what looks like sprouts on them. I quickly took them to the GH and planted 32 of those cuties. Wouldn't I be excited if they actually grew? YAHOO!
I love this bush and it is so beautiful when all the buds pop. It is a very early bloomer too.
