REBECCA
AnswerHi Rebecca,
Thanx for your questions. If you get seeds from Moonbeam coreopsis there is no guarantee the resulting seedlings will be like the parents. This is because it is a hybrid and most hybrid seeds do not result in seedlings that look like the parents. Sometimes if you chill clematis seeds in a plastic baggie in the fridge for a couple of months, this will speed up germination. Seed pods for datura can often differ between varieties even if two varieties seeme similar. You don't need to soak datura seeds and it won't speed up germination. Keep them warm and they should be up in 2-3 weeks. I hope this helps.
