Author Message   Jasenka  My Weather Posted on Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - 04:55 am EST :    Hi all, I got some seeds today from blue and pale pink aquilegias. I was wondering if I can put them today in the ground, will they grow now, and flower next year? I was wondering because near my old aquilegia (which is all dried up by now) are growing new ones. Any advice is more then wellcome. Thank you!

Andy, another gardenbuddy said he does this too all the time. My blue ones germinated during the summer and came back this spring. Maybe if you go through some posts from last year, you will find more details. I would say sow some now but save some, just in case you need to winter sow some.

We don't know how dry the rest of summer will be. Denise--Northern Wisconsin, Z3b   Jasenka  My Weather Posted on Thursday, June 21, 2007 - 02:32 am EST :    Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll do as suggested, I'll plant some now, and leave the rest for winter. The pods on mine turned brown and opened a month ago, so I already have small plants (prosumably from this years seeds). Thank you again for suggestions :) Jasenka Jasenka - Zagreb, Croatia, Zone "Europe: 7/8, US: 6b"
