Heuchera SANGUINEA

Sowing and germination

** Heucheras are easily propagated by seed. The round black seeds look like miniature poppy seeds and require water and light to germinate. They can be sown immediately after harvest, or they can be stored for some time (preferably no longer than six months). It is not necessary to stratify them. Seedlings appear two or three weeks after sowing. The substrate for seeds should be well drained; you can add 30% perlite or other soil disintegrant to it. The seeds should be lightly pressed to the surface so that they are not washed away when watering, or sprinkled with a thin layer of vermiculite. By changing the color of vermiculite, one can judge that the substrate is drying out. The seed container can be placed in a plastic bag or box. It is important to prevent the seeds from drying out. Seedlings dive when 2-3 true leaves appear in boxes or ridges.
