As if I don't have enough little trays with sterile soil in little baggies
all over the house as it is (48 at last count) I recently decided to
harvest and sow some seed from my favorite Exbury Hybrid Azalea just to see
what would happen. I cleaned the debris from a handful of pods, sifted it
and planted...well....what looked like debris. After a week the individual
seeds could be seen, I assume after hydrating. Now they're sprouting and
I'm giddy about it, but wondering if Azaleas from seed are worth the
trouble. Can someone tell me how long they take to bloom from seed? Any
special precautions I should take? Should I be on medication?
I should've thought to ask this question before getting caught up in the
excitement of "new arrivals" and ordering Rhododendron seed from Chilterns
and Gardens North.
Capriciously yours,
