| Kunzea Glabrescens is a species of Western Australian shrub known by the common name spearwood. It grows 1.5 to 4 metres high in sandy soil and bears yellow flowers in October and November. The propagating media should be free draining but also retain moisture. A commercial seed raising mix is suited. Soil should be maintained at between 18 and 22°C, which is the optimum range for germinating Kunzea seed for best and quickest results. Germination requires light so do not cover. A common method used for germination of the pot containing the seeds is placed into a saucer of water until germination occurs. This results in moisture reaching the seeds by capillary action and ensures that the seeds do not dry out. Germination: 3-4 weeks. Sowing: Sow and surface, keep warm and moist but not waterlogged Approx. 100 seeds |
