Hello Erwin

I have plants of your nursery and I have always happy with your service and the quality of yours plants ! Congratulation !
Beautiful crossings. May you explain your method to make crossing ?

Olivier, I am glad to read your compliments :-)
This year I will pollinate Semps with my hands. All of my cultivars from the years ago bees and bumble-bees have done this work ;-)

Hi Erwin

I seek the right way to sow.
When you sow?
What substrate?
I make essay. I sow in january in baggy with artificial light but I don't know if it's the right way !

Dear Olivier,
I use the same substrate for potting. Notice they germinate in light, so please don't cover the seeds. Best time in spring.. - but I think you can always sowing. I often read they need frost to germinate, but my seeds never had frost after sowing and they germinated anyway.

Is it possible for semps to survive outdoor in winter, under the snow?
