Comments (3)What you have been given, being a corm, will not strictly speaking 'germinate'. That means a seedling emerging from a seed. Your corm is already an Oxalis plant - it's just that it's dormant at the moment. So however long it takes to sprout it will do so unless you do something really drastic to it. Here is a link that might be useful: Oxalis...See MoreHow long does it take for germinate butterfly weed and swamp milk

Comments (8)Slo garden, It just so happens that I'm growing Aker's WV this year. And yes Aker's WV was one of the last to germinate. As per usual the first was SupperSweet 100 in 3 days, the next was Cosner on the 4th day, then too many to list on the 5th day. Then on the 8th and 9th days Aker's WV germinated. I'm growing Aker's WV from seeds I saved and from seeds from a friend (comparison experiment). My seeds are from 2005 and germinated on the 8th day. Her's are from last year and germinated on the 9th day. So, there you go more than you wanted to know about my experience with Aker's WV seed germination. Did yours ever come up? Good luck.

Comments (6)soonergrandmom FWIW, I DO put my just-germinated seedlings directly outside on the deck when the temps are 55 or higher, have been doing it for years. I don't have room under my lights for the larger containers they go in, so out they go on balmy days in either direct or indirect sunlight. (Even indirect sunlight is much brighter than artificial light.) As the true leaves develop, they immediately produce the tougher cuticles and shorter cell tissue structures that hardening off plants accomplishes. The seedlings are safe, don't have to be hardened off, if they have developed ONLY the cotyledons when you first put them outside. If they've developed one or more sets of true leaves under artificial lights before you do this, then they must be hardened off to allow the physiological changes to occur that are needed for plants to thrive in the natural elements....See Morekj_57701
