🌱 Growing instructions

  • Dormancy: American Holly seeds have a deep dormancy and require a long, multi-step process for successful germination.
  • 1. Soak: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Both seeds that float and seeds that sink will be viable.
  • 2. Warm Stratification: Place seeds in a moist medium (like sand or peat) in a plastic bag and keep warm (around 70-80°F) for 30-60 days.
  • 3. Cold Stratification: After the warm period, move the seeds (still in the moist medium) to the refrigerator (35-40°F) for an additional 60 days.
  • Depth: After stratification, sow seeds 3/8 inch deep in a prepared seed bed. Tamp down the soil lightly.
  • Care: Keep the area consistently moist and mulch the seed bed. Be aware that germination can be sporadic and may occur over the course of a year.
