NIKA SEEDS - Herb St John's Wort Medicinal - 1500 Seeds

ST JOHN'S WORTA perennial plant. It will create the strongest tap roots if you grow it from seed. Blooms from June to fall. Sow seeds directly in the ground. Planting instructions:  St. John's Wort seeds, which are roughly the shape of tiny, brown, bumpy Tic-Tacs have a tough outer coating, allowing them to remain dormant in the soil for up to ten years. Don't break out the butane torch to get your seeds to sprout; we recommend soaking your Hypericum perforatum seeds overnight using the paper towel method. From there on out, growing St. John's wort from seed is a cinch. We recommend starting your seeds indoors, given that outdoor-sown seeds are easily buried beneath the soil. Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost, after which time you can transplant them outdoors. Surface-sow tiny St. John's Wort seeds, which require sunlight to germinate. Thin or plant seeds 18" to 24" apart. Crowded St. John's wort can become leggy, so giving it even more room as it matures provides the best results. St. John's Wort seeds germinate in 10 to 20 days at soil temperatures around 70°F. Keep the seeds and seedlings consistently moist. Plan to assault your plants early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Make sure the plants are free of dew and rainwater. Clip entire stems about an inch above the woody base, and dry the leaves and flowers using your preferred method.
