How to Grow Rose of Sharon Bushes From Seed

Instructions

1.Fill the planting tray with high-quality commercial potting soil. A mix created especially for seedlings is
preferable.

2.Place the rose of Sharon seeds in the tray and cover them with about 1/2 inch of potting soil. Rose of
Sharon seeds should be planted in late winter, about six weeks before the last frost of the season.

3.Spray the soil lightly with a mister. Slide the planting tray into a large, clear plastic bag and seal the
opening with a twist tie.

4.Put the tray in a warm place that gets indirect light. Although you may not have to water the tray while
it's in the greenhouse atmosphere of the plastic bag, it should be checked periodically. If the
soil appears dry, remove the tray and spray the soil lightly, then return the tray to the bag.

5.Watch for seedlings to emerge and roots to develop. When they do, take the tray out of the plastic bag.
This will take approximately 15 to 20 days. Move the tray to a sunny window and keep the seedlings
moist.

6.Transplant the seedlings to small pots when it appears that they are beginning to outgrow the planting
tray. After the danger of frost has passed, plant the seedlings outside in a location that gets full sun
for most of the day
