Hello Duncan,
Thanks for the listing of some of the species of Pulsatilla. Good
information. Thimble Farms is a good catalog, but on the north side of the
border. Excellent choice for Canadians. Isn't his minimum order for
shipping to the States $100? I can not find his catalog right now.
On sowing the seeds.. I find around here the best time to sow is just
after the release the seeds... fresh. Then place the pots in an open cold
frame to weather over until following spring. A few will germinate in late
fall, but most will come through in early spring. I get the best
germination rates with this method.
I, too, carry six species and cultivars of pulsatilla in my catalog and
all are either blooming or coming into bloom in the display area now..
gallon sizes and fully mature. I usually have plenty of seed of several
each spring available on my web site for trading or for sale.
