Potter Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hey, just wondering: how long are Sarracenia seeds viable for ? Say if I bought them now, would I need to sow them straight away or would storing them be alright ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Sarracenias natural cycle is to bloom and set seeds in summer but sprout in spring. So storing the seeds during the winter, waiting for spring is perfectly fine. I store mine in the refrigerator.

Only a thing: If any seeds don’t germinate this spring they could do it the next spring, after the second stratification... so don’t throw away the pot with seeds that haven’t germinated;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Thanks Argo. I am still waiting for a few pots sown in may 2020 to germinate. Br Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
