Planting Instructions:
This is definitely one of those seeds which will take a little patience, but it’s also one of the rewarding seeds to grow. When those seedlings pop up, there’s no more gratifying feeling. In nature, Witch Hazel takes 18 months to grow with the seeds going through both hot and cold periods. Our goal is to mimic that process in as short a time frame as possible to allow the seed to break their dormancy.
