How to Grow Molucella from Seed
Before sowing the seeds we recommend chilling in a fridge for about 2 weeks.
Sow the seeds in early Feb-April in moist free draining compost about 3mm deep at 70F. Germination should take 2-3 weeks.
Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into 9cm pots and then grow on cooler. Once the danger of frost has passed, plant out into the garden in a well drained sunny position.
