Astragalus Seeds

Growing instructions: Start indoors a few weeks before last frost. Before planting, scarify seeds lightly with sandpaper, or nick them with a knife or nail clippers to help them absorb water. Soak seeds for a day or two. Plant in sterile potting medium. Transplant after danger of frost has passed. Space plants about a foot apart. Without scarification, only about half the seeds germinate in a timely manner.

We ship seeds via Canada Post within Canada for $6 to $8 depending on weight, United States for $12, and Internationally for $20*. Live plants and large bulbs can only be shipped within Canada.

Any shipping overages will be refunded.
