Re: Spigela marilandica question

Three to four times the depth of the seed itself, Pam.
Actually, I sow the seeds on the surface of the potting medium and then cover the surface with granite chicken grit to about1/8th inch, then soak from the bottom up... set outside to ride with the weather.

I'd better try to start them in the house I'm thinking.  Temps outside
this time of year will be way to warm for germination until well into
fall.   How deep do you plant the seeds?

Probably, Pam
I have never tried to short cut my process. I sow soon as they are ripe,
place the pots out in the cold frame to ride with the local weather. They
germinate the following spring. I am seldom in a bit hurry about
germination....
