I just got my seeds from rareexoticseeds.com in the mail (P. Vulgaris, D. Rotundifolia, and D. Anglica) and put them in their stratification buckets.
Here are some pictures of them. The containers are 190oz. and the media is 1 peat : 1 sand.
I put sphagnum moss on top, and it is moist, but NOT WET.
Should I leave lids on or wait until I take them out of stratification to put the lids on?
Also, any specific advice anyone has (maybe from experience?) about any one species, I am especially curious about the P. Vulgaris which I heard is very hard to grow, but from what I have seen, the hardest part is the stratification.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
These plants are all for a bog garden outside in Michigan this summer. Do you guys think that I could plant the pot into the soil and either take them out for dormancy and put them in the fridge or leave them in the bog over the winter?
I could cover the garden with a tarp (I am already planning on mulching with straw) if I ended up leaving them in. (I know Rotundifolia and P. Vulgaris are Winter Hardy, here but Anglica seems to be a bit different...)
