How To Grow
Sow your NSW Waratah seeds in warm areas at any time. In colder climates, wait until the danger of frost has passed. Press the seeds into the soil surface, either directly where they are to grow or into seed trays filled with a moist, quality seed-raising mix. Cover very lightly, water, and keep the soil evenly moist.
Apply Mr. Fothergill’s Wildflower Seed Starter Granules to the soil surface for best results.
Place in a warm, shaded position to germinate. Transplant to the final growing position when plants are about 7cm (3”) tall, taking care not to disturb the roots. Grow in full sun or part shade in most soil types. Water in well and then regularly until established, but avoid fertilisers not designed for Australian natives.
Seedlings will emerge in 14-28 days.
