antsinmypants's Plant List: Needs Light

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

sr - 2023

In flower from Apr to May, and the seeds ripen from Sep to Oct. The flowers are monoecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but both sexes can be found on the same plant)The plant is not self-fertile.

Akebia prefers sandy soils with good drainage, and regular watering, though it is drought-resistant. Germination: Lightly scarify seeds with a nail file, and soak in warm water for 24 hours. Surface sow seeds in a pot, mist the soil and sprinkle a small amount of sand or seed-starting soil over the seeds.

soak seed for 24hrs then place in moist peat or sand, in a polythene bag, not sealed, in the fridge for about 6 weeks. Sow in pots, but don't cover the seed, since they need light to germinate. Keep warm. Ideal Sowing Period: Spring, if using a fridge, late autumn if using natural stratification.

Zones 4 through 9.
