I got some Brug. seeds, and I plan to start them indoors under lights. In this zone, the last frost date is nearly June 1. When should I start them, with an eye toward putting them outside when they aren't too tiny? My usual medium is a mixture of perlite and vermiculite, kept on the damp side. Is this a good start for them? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

When to plant seeds?
Susan,
I haven't started any seeds, but have seen quite a bit of discussion and I'm sure some more knowledgeable people will chime in, but I'd think you could start them now. People use all sorts of mediums to start their seeds. You might check through some of the old threads for more information. Good luck - and let us know how they do.

Susan,
Hurry, Hurry or you will be too late for blooms this summer. I'll send you a link to a website, that we are not suppose to mention/see sticky thread up top on the front page of the Brug Foum, that will tell you exactly how to sprout those seeds.
Good Luck,
Judy
Send to me also please Judy :))
God bless, Margo
Me too or three Judy :-)
Thanks, lynda
I started a lot of them two weeks ago, need to start early if you want to try for blooms this summer.

It's a great time of the year to watch new growth!!

I started mine in Jan last year.. Had blooms by August on some.. Most were blooming by Nov. except a few that are gonna wait another year.
I started some in December this year. A few are already in 1 gal pots and learning how to stay outside on the front porch!
