Product Details:

Kolkwitzia amabilis Seeds offer the opportunity to cultivate a stunning ornamental shrub known for its graceful arching branches and profusion of pink blooms. Reaching a mature height of 6 to 10 feet, this shrub is perfect for borders, hedges, or as a focal point in your garden, adding beauty and charm.

Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Cold stratify the seeds by placing them in a sealed plastic bag filled with moistened peat moss or vermiculite. Store in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before sowing to simulate winter conditions.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds in early spring or late fall. Choose a well-prepared seed bed or seed trays filled with well-draining, moist soil.

Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil. Press down gently to ensure good soil contact.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 3-4 weeks, but may take longer.

Maintain a temperature around 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings into larger pots or directly into the garden once they have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle.

Space plants 6-8 feet apart to allow for their mature spread.

Care and Maintenance:

Water young plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to help establish roots.

Prune Kolkwitzia amabilis after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy Gardening!
