Q.buying seeds
hello
I would like to know where I could buy lily spoon osteospermum seeds. I bought some on eBay, which came from a seller in China, and they weren’t even osteospermum, let alone be the lily spoon version. Even the plain osteospermum are hard to find seeds. I live in Nh, the southern part. The growers say they start them from cuttings because they say they are a bit difficult. I had some seeds and did grow them and got them to a plant and then I left it outside and of course, that night, we had a frost so that was that. I have also read that the plants do not produce seed or that it is sterile and will not produce a “like” plant but I don’t care what color it is. I just want to be able to grow it from seed, no matter what it looks like. I bought one at a nursery, this year, but neglected to let it go to seed. If you can help, that would be great.
thank you so much, Patty in NH
