Some take a few weeks or months while others need up to 2 years. Not all seeds germinate at the same time and most species DO NOT have a 100% germination rate. Some species need to be chilled, scarified or soaked in water in order to germinate. This applies to several species of vines, trees, shrubs, tropicals and large seeds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMPLETE Planting Instructions are available at the bottom of our website https:\/\/bloomoutlet.com under “Seed Guides”.

It may grow up to 3 ft. (100cm) tall and produces clusters of rose-pink to crimson, bell-shaped flowers throughout the summer. A profuse bloomer that is attractive all year long. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBotanical Name: Rhododendron ferrugineum\u003cbr\u003eCommon Name: Alpenrose, Rostblättrige Alpenrose, Alpine Rose, Azalea\u003cbr\u003eType: Perennial \/ Evergreen Shrub\u003cbr\u003eFlower Color: Rose-pink to crimson\u003cbr\u003eFlowering Period: May - June\u003cbr\u003ePlant Height: 3 ft (100 cm)\u003cbr\u003eLight Requirements: Full Sun\u003cbr\u003eWater Requirements: Moist\u003cbr\u003eSoil Requirements: Well-drained\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Zones: 3-8 \u003cbr\u003eSeed Count: 100 or 500 Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing Instructions (Cliff Notes Version):  Sow seeds at 64-72F (+18 to +22°C) and keep moist for the first 2–4 weeks. After this period the sowing must be kept at a cold temperature (between –4 and +4°C) [between 25 and 39°F] for another 4–6 weeks. \u003cbr\u003eIt is beneficial to cover the sowing with snow during the cooling period. The temperature below it usually keeps in the optimum range of –4 to 0°C [25 to 32°F]. The sowing is kept moist, and the melting snow helps to destroy the shell, which is advantageous for the germinating seedling. After this cooling-period the sowing may not be immediately exposed to high temperatures. The most effective temperatures are between +5 to +12°C [41 to 54°F], even if germination has started. The best location for this sowing, even in March, April and May, is the open field, the cold frame or a cold greenhouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere not hardy, lift in autumn, pot up, and overwinter in a cool, dry place at 45F (7C). Seeds can also be sown at 55-61F (13-16C) in late winter.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease email us with any problems before leaving feedback.
