When can wintersweet be sown (with planting methods)

1. Sowing time

Wintersweet can be sown in spring or autumn. When sowing in spring, the seeds should be soaked in warm water to germinate, so that they will sprout in about a month. Its seeds can usually be harvested in July and August, so when planted in autumn, they are usually fresh seeds, and they will sprout about ten days after planting.

2. Planting Method

If you are using fresh seeds when planting, just poke a small hole in the soil surface and put the seeds in. After that, cover it with a thin layer of soil and water it thoroughly in time. It will germinate quickly and you can see seedlings in some cases within a week.

If you use dry seeds, soak them in warm water for about a day, throw away the ones that float, and keep the ones that sink. The floating embryo has not developed well and will not germinate even if planted. The planting method is the same as the above method, but the germination time is longer, so you need to wait patiently. It usually takes about a month, but there are also cases where it takes more than two months to germinate.
