Cyperus eragrostis

Sowing method: April-July, first in a warm spot; if no germination after 4 weeks, give the seedlings a cold period (refrigerator) of 2-4 weeks. Germination should then follow when returned to warmth. Sowing directly into the ground in September is also an option, with germination in spring.
