I just joined and I have 3 types of plant seeds that I am looking to get/buy (only need a few seeds for each breed as I want only a few small plants.They are my favourite plants, (flowers and berries so beautiful), and I cannot seem to find them in Toronto, Ontario Canada...where I live.)
I have looked for them online and found some on ebay but with the shipping it will be very expensive to buy the entire package of seeds, for these 3 different types of plants. I do not need entire packets, would only like a couple/few seeds of each plant to grow small potted plants.
Is it possible to grow these types of plants inside? I have very good sunlight and I always keep the windows open and since the courtyard has alot of strong wind whipping around, it can get pretty cold in here (which I like) unless I turn the temperature up/close the windows etc.. These 3 breeds of plants from what Ive read, grow wild in the Northern Hemisphere mainly so they like cooler climates.
Apparently the Lingonberry plant grows here wild in Canada in Newfoundland and Labrador..They call it "Partridgeberry" instead of Lingonberry. Though here in Toronto, they seem to be unheard of. Same goes for the other two types of plants...The Bog Bilberry plant and the "regular" Bilberry plant.
Im thinking it must be possible to grow them here but I just wanted to know for sure if it is possible?
The plants are:
1) Bog Bilberry (Vaccinium uliginosum)
2) Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus)
3) Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea)
So, does anyone know about these plants or even have any seeds? Would I be able to buy the seeds from you, if you have any? Only need a few.
Lastly, I have a few dried Bilberry berries left from a holistic herb store- I bought a bunch and made a wonderful tea out of them... If I were to plant the dried berries would plants grow from the seeds within? Or were the seeds somehow ruined because they have been dried?
Sorry for all the questions I have..Hope someone out there can help!
