Carolina Allspice seeds

15 years ago

My Carolina Allspice has produced lots of lovely seed pods. I'd like to try planting the seeds this spring. Any advice out there?

You have seeds? My own in just beginning to bloom in what I heard today is the coolest, wettest May on record.

Don't wait till Spring - Clothiers database and Druse both suggest Calycanthus floridus , Carolina allspice , sow fresh seed outdoors in the fall (warm, cold, cool germinator, needs extended weeks at all three seasons to break seed dormancy)

I'm growing these from seed. Sown last November outdoors in a protected container, they sprouted in March and were potted up last month. Only a handful of the seeds germinated.

Susie (I assumed your name was Susie because of your name) Can you propogate them from seed?? I've never heard of it being done this way, but if you've done it and have success with it I'm willing to try. Is it a specific cultivar or is it just the straight species?? Thanks perennialfan273

Hi Terri, I have never seen any seeds on my allspice plants, if there are any it would be after they finished blooming which is very early here. I have several small plants that have come up around the big plants that I would be happy to share with you. Do you have any plants to trade. If not, I could send you several for postage. Please let me know. Annette
