Comments (5)gerryblackthumb - go to the main Hydrangea Forum page and up at the top, click on the "post a message" link and start typing. Donna1952 - the best way to collect hydrangea seed is to take a bloom that has completely dried - in the fall is the best time - put in a zip-lok bag and shake it for all your worth. The fine dust you'll see in the bottom of the bag is your seed. Get rid of as much chaff and debris that you can, lightly scatter the seed on to a prepared seed flat of moistened soil, mist a bit to get good soil/seed contact, place the flat in a warm sunny place and germination usually occurs within two weeks. Make sure the soil mix doesn't dry out during the waiting period. But be advised that the eventual plants you get from seed may, but probably won't resemble the plant and blooms from which you gathered the seeds. But it's fun to see what turns up in a couple years. I do this with h. paniculata and h. quercifolia annually and have acquired some very nice specimens. Should work with all the other species as well....See MoreDo Hydrangeas seed by themselves?
Comments (4)Seedlings should have leaves that look similar to hydrangea leaves, just much smaller. They might have a lighter green color at times. Can you post a picture as a safety check?...See MoreHydrangea Seeds
Comments (2)Yeah, they are real fine and small! I remember deciding to use lacecap cuttings the next time I wanted to propagate (after I saw how fine they were)....See Morehc mcdole
