How to grow Spiny Restharrow Seeds
Spiny Restharrow seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered lightly with compost. Germination can be improved by lightly rubbing the seeds between 2 sheets of sandpaper. This is known as scarification and helps break down the seed’s tough outer shell. Spiny Restharrow seeds can be somewhat erratic to germinate but will do so when conditions are favourable. The seedlings, can then be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year
