How to keep seeds from grass flowers

Grass flowers have seeds, which are formed after the grass flowers bloom. The grass flower seeds can be artificially peeled and germinated, and can be retained for a period of time.

Grass flowers can keep their own seeds. After the flowers fall, dry the inflorescence and rub out the seeds.

Flower seed storage

After the grass flower seeds are dried, they can be canned for preservation and collection. They must be sealed well and need to be preserved and stored in a dry environment.

How to plant grass and flower seeds

Grass flower seeds can be sown in spring and autumn. The sowing time in spring is mid-March each year, and the sowing time in autumn is September. The temperature and humidity in these two seasons are suitable, and the survival rate of sowing is higher.

Choose healthy, plump, and fresh seeds from excellent mother plants. Some seeds need to be germinated due to their hard seed coat. Prepare loose and fertile soil and disinfect it in advance. If conditions do not permit, dry it in the sun or disinfect it by other means. After sowing, cover it with a layer of fine sand, the amount of which should be 2-3 times the diameter of the seed. Be careful not to water it directly.

Grass flowers like an environment with plenty of sunlight. After germination, they need to be moved to a sunny place for maintenance, provide sufficient light, water in time, and keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. If you want the plant to grow vigorously, you also need to fertilize regularly to meet its nutrient needs.
