Story of this Seed:
Every spring I looked forward to visiting my grandmother's house because her backyard would be full of these little beauties. I never saw a fairy dance around the plants, but I still hope to.
Growing Tips:
I usually germinate my seeds in the water method. Place a little water in a container and put the seeds in, cover with a lid and place in bright indirect light. The seeds will produce small white roots. Gently remove the seed from the water and plant in premoistened soil with root side down. When the seeds start to germinate and grow, they will look like little blades of grass.
Seeds can also be planted into soil.
