20 SEEDS for MIXED PACK COLORS LILAC rare flowering exotic plant bush USA Seller Description INCLUDES: 20 LILAC SEEDS Growing lilac from seeds can be a rewarding but somewhat challenging process, as it requires patience and attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you grow lilac from seeds: 1. Seed Collection : Collect seeds from mature lilac plants. Wait until the lilac flowers fade and seed pods begin to develop. Harvest the pods when they turn brown and begin to split open, revealing the seeds inside. 2. Seed Extraction : Remove the seeds from the pods and discard any debris or damaged seeds. Lilac seeds are small and dark in color. 3. Seed Treatment : Lilac seeds have a hard outer coating that can inhibit germination. To improve germination rates, you can scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or soaking them in warm water for 24 hours. This helps soften the seed coat and allows moisture to penetrate. 4. Seed Stratification : Lilac seeds require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy and stimulate germination. Place the scarified seeds in a damp paper towel or sand, then seal them in a plastic bag or container. Place the container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 months. Check the seeds periodically to ensure they remain moist. 5. Potting Mix : While the seeds are stratifying, prepare a potting mix for planting. Use a well-draining potting mix or a mixture of peat moss and perlite. 6. Planting : After the stratification period, sow the lilac seeds in small pots or seed trays filled with the prepared potting mix. Plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep and lightly cover them with soil. Water the soil thoroughly but gently. 7. Germination : Place the pots or trays in a warm, sunny location, such as a windowsill or greenhouse. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination may take several weeks to several months, so be patient. 8. Transplanting : Once the lilac seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are strong enough to handle, transplant them into larger pots or directly into the garden. Space the seedlings at least 6 feet apart to allow for their mature size. 9. Care : Provide proper care for your lilac seedlings, including regular watering, fertilizing, and protection from pests and diseases. Keep an eye on them as they grow and provide support if needed. 10. Patience : Lilac plants grown from seeds may take several years to reach maturity and begin flowering. Be patient and continue to care for your seedlings until they establish themselves in your garden. By following these steps, you can grow lilac from seeds and enjoy beautiful, fragrant blooms in your garden. On average, under optimal conditions, you can expect a germination rate of around 50% to 70% for lilac seeds. However, it's essential to keep in mind that individual results may vary. To improve germination rates, it's important to use fresh, viable seeds and to follow proper seed preparation techniques, such as scarification and stratification.
