Seeds for Iochroma (mini angels trumpet) Blue would be nice. I am in the address exchange.

Silk Floss seed use the wind to disperse. I would think that they have no special requirements to germinate, except they like it warm? I have found that if you know the climate of origin, the season they shed their seed then you can guess what conditions are best for germination. I have never seen this tree reseed itself here. I would guess that means the seed is not fertile or temps are not right for it.

Mike, I don't have real nice gardens, I work in some real nice gardens-I am a gardener by trade. http://www.dalethegardener.com
