Author Message   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 08:53 pm EST :    Does anyone have a source for seed? I had been a member of the American Sakurasoh Association and was hoping to get more seed this year, but it is no longer active. I grew some last year and I am hoping they come back but want to have them everywhere. I tried ordering from NARGS this year, but did not get any.

I don't remember whether you posted pictures or not.

I am hoping they made it through the winter along with the small plants I received last year and that they will at least come back so I can transplant them into the garden this year. I was able to order some plants from Seneca Hill Perennials, but you know me, I want an instant garden of them.

I do remember collecting, but I cannot find them! I will look again today!

Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 - 09:48 pm EST :    Bruce, if you are checking back, did you find out what you did with your seed? Also have a question. My seedlings from last year were overwintered in the flat they germinated in and are now starting to grow again. They are very tiny, do you plant them out in the garden the year after they germinated? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Bruce  My Weather My Time Posted on Monday, May 29, 2006 - 04:56 am EST :    Terryk, They grow at a good rate. If they are not crowded and look good I would try a little soluble fertilizer to get them up to size. All my sieboldii are from seed that I collected. Sieboldii are easy from seed and should flower in the second year from germination. They are very easy to divide. It is reported that they are deciduous in summer but in my climate they keep their foliage till late August. I cannot find my collected seed from 2005! I will try again this year! A few unusual forms, I tend to like this form below, Below is a new seedling that I like very much, I have had bluish plants but they have disappeared. If you notice the sieboldii pinks have that lavender tinge, a lavender blue or even a true blue is sieboldii possible.

Galanthophile - Ann (Northern England), Zone "8"   Gardenfiend  My Weather Posted on Monday, May 29, 2006 - 05:31 am EST :    They are all beautiful - in all three posts. What a wonderfully variable plant! I like the slightly tie-dye splashed effect of the one in the first photo. And of course the last, new seedling. Gardenfiend - Germany, Zone "7a"   Terryk  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, May 29, 2006 - 08:26 am EST :    Thanks for the info Bruce. The ones I got from Seneca Hil were a very nice size so I was able to divide those. I'll have to try some fertilizer on the seedlings. As usual, great plants and wonderful photos too.
