Phlomis russeliana

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray. First, provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), then a cold period, for example in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, after which gradually warm up to room temperature, and germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer period. Do not discard the sowing too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; just let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
