How to Grow Desmanthus?

After the last frost of spring, direct sow 1/4" deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which should occur within 10-15 days. To start the seed indoors, sow them in a flat 4-6 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil lightly moist and at a temperature of 70 degrees F until germination.

How do you plant Desmanthus?

Planting should occur from early spring right through until mid-summer (into late March for Central Queensland). Seed should be planted when soil temperature exceeds 16ºC. Seed can be drilled or broadcast and being a small seed, should be planted ideally at 5mm and no more than 1cm deep.

How do you grow Desmanthus Illinoensis?

Seeds can be sown in spring/summer just under the surface of a quality potting mix. Germination may be increased by pouring just boiled water over the seeds and letting them soak for a few hours before planting. Pot up individually once they are tall enough and begin to crowd each other. Full sun and well-drained soil.
