Barb:
I haven't purposely grown platycodon from seed, but it can't be too
difficult...I spent a lot of time digging up seedlings from my flower
bed last year, because they were taking over! According to T&M, the
seeds need light to germinate, and do so at about 70 degrees F. They do
have a long tap root, so they might be easier to start in a nursery bed
than in a seed flat. Wish I'd known you needed some before I tossed all
those on the compost heap!
