SALPIGLOSSIS sinuata grandiflora
(Painted Tongue)
|
|
Germination: Sow seeds on sterilized media and do not cover seeds. Place container in dark location and maintain 70°F soil temperature. Seeds should begin germinating in 14-16 days. However, because seedlings are tiny stemmed, they are very difficult to transplant. This year I direct sowed seeds to garden location two (2) weeks before our last frost date, and they did very well.
