Lewisia Rainbow Flower Seed Mix

I ordered 100 Lewesia seeds and what I received was maybe four or five seeds and then something that if they were seeds they were not mature. I went ahead and planted everything I received and got zero germination. I contacted the seller and have heard nothing.

They offer a wide variety of seeds for a decent price. The percent of flowering seeds is always high, even in Zone 3 Alaska.

First, let me say, I'm an experienced a certified master gardener and I love experimenting with new plants and seeds. From October to May, my kitchen and living room are filled with houseplants while January through May, the garage becomes my greenhouse for summer vegetable and flower seedlings. So, not new to gardening. I am seduced by these plants, Lewisia is a native plant here in Idaho so naturally, I want some. This is my third attempt to grow Lewisia from seed. This time out of a pkg of 50 seeds, four (4) seeds have managed to sprout. And YES,I made sure to cold stratified my seed. Lewisia is far more difficult to start from seed than even lavender.Save your self the heart ache and frustration and spring for plants from a reputable nursery!Good luck!

Only 3 seeds came up and upon doing research online found out these seeds should've been refrigerated for 4 to 6 weeks first. Would've had better luck probably if I had known that first. The seed packet just tells you if they don't come up in 3 to 4 weeks then refrigerate them for 4 to 6 weeks then start over. I can't put the dirty pots in my frig. So a little disappointed.

I am experienced at raising plants from seed. I followed the directions exactly, keeping the seeds in the fridge for 4 weeks before planting. 5 weeks after planting in peat pots and with lots of TLC 1 seed finally germinated but shriveled up within 2 weeks. Don't waste your time or money!

. Unfortunately none of th seeds germinated. I planted 1/3 of them by direct sowing, 1/3 in peat pots and 1/3 in potting mixture. The seller sent them in a timely manor and the package was dated for this year. I have no idea what went wrong.

I'm not a seed expert but it sure didn't look like 50 seeds in the packet. The order arrived in good time and the package looked nice but I won't be surprised if nothing germinates as they didn't really look like seeds.

I followed the directions, but never got A result
