HOW TO GROW
Sowing: To break its dormancy this seed needs a period of cold moisture, a period of warm moisture, followed by another period of cold moisture. Mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 40-60 days, then move it to a 70-75 degrees F location for 40-60 days, followed by another 40-60 day period in the refrigerator before planting. To accomplish this naturally, simply plant these Yellow Jewelweed seeds in late fall and wait until the second spring after planting for germination. In late fall or early spring, direct sow the treated seed on the surface of the soil. This seed needs light to germinate.
Growing: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. While the seedlings are still developing, remove competing weeds. This plant self-sows and often forms large colonies in the wild.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed in the garden.
Seed Saving: Because these ripe seed pods explode when touched, the seeds can be challenging to collect. Bagging the pods with small circles of fabric before they ripen can be an effective way to catch the seed. Alternatively, the entire plant can be repeatedly shaken over a container to cause the ripe pods to release the seeds. Clean the Yellow Jewelweed seeds as well as possible, then store them in a cool, dry place.
