Growing bluebells from seed
Theres nothing quite like a bluebell wood in the spring time, it will simply take your breath away with the sight and smell of this wonderfull british native flower.
We tell you how to grow this native british wildflower from seed.
Bluebell seeds need to be stratified before they will germinate, in short this means they need a period of cold weather ie over the winter time, in nature this happens naturally, what happens is the seeds fall out of there seed pods in july onto the woodland floor, they then will go through the process of stratification over the winter time and then germinate in early summer the following year.
This process can also be done by sowing the seeds yourself under a shady deciduous tree and left over the winter time to germinate in early summer, you can also sow the seeds in a pot of compost and place outside in a shady spot in the garden, make sure they dont dry out if useing this method, another way of geminating bluebell seeds is to mimick the stratifacation process by placing your seeds in a small bag of moist compost and placing them in the bottom of your fridge for 8 to 12 weeks, this breacks there dormancy the same as mother nature does with the winter frosts, they then can be sown as normal in pots of compost and will germinate quite well this way to.
