Seed collected at Our Mountain Garden from our dahlia patch, Tamborine Mountain QLD.
This is the one where you don’t know what you’re going to get - and that’s exactly the point. Every seed in this mix is a genuine unknown, so there is something extra mysterious about that first flower opening.
I collected lost seed pods from across our dahlia patch this season, the ones the parrots had a snack on and left again, also ones I pocketed and then forgot where they were from (haha sigh) now they are all mixed together for this Mystery Mix packet.
Growing Information
Sowing time: Seeds need warmth to germinate - soil temperature of at least 18°C, ideally 20-25°C.
Starting method: Sow into seed raising mix in small pots or trays, covering seeds lightly with about 5mm of mix. The paper towel method also works well - place seeds between damp paper towels in a warm spot (20-25°C), check daily, and pot up as soon as you see a root emerge. Once sprouted, keep seedlings in good light to avoid leggy growth.
Germination: Typically 7-14 days at 18-25°C. Cooler conditions will slow germination considerably.
Planting out: Plant seedlings out once overnight temperatures are reliably above 10°C and all risk of frost has passed.
Position: Full sun
