Must be big enough that you could transplant them..... Mine are now in full bloom--but, b/c the weather is so transitional, and cold, they do not have that sweet fragrance they usually do. I recently added about 4 pictures on PF on the Wintersweet Shrub. Go see them...... Also--I would love to see a picture of yours and how they are doing.... My most appreciative receiver of a zillion seeds of this is "Rockymea" in Toronto. She is Chinese--and she told me that the Wintersweet Shrub has a very special meaning to Chinese people. She also said that--a growing seedling could be sold for about $30 there. I sent her about 30 seeds. They are as big as beans...28 of them germinated for her... Each envelope I send of seeds from this plant also has a "How to Germinate' paper included. Thanks to Terry (DG Adm.) . I must collect about 1000 seeds from this Shrub every year.... Almost desperate as to what to do with them..... Gita This picture is of all the seeds I have collected in ONE year (*2008) That is a big soup bowl--and that is, also, a TBS. in the bowl... HELP!!! |
