The genus Jacksonia was first formally described by James Edward Smith from an unpublished manuscript by Robert Brown

Jacksonia are easy to propagate from seed.

The best time to sow Jacksonia seed is Autumn or late winter and Spring, avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year.

Seed germinates readily, however they do have a hard outer coating that is impervious to water and generally germination will normally not occur unless the seed is scarified by abrading or pre-treated with boiling water first.

  1. Place the seed in a container and pour in just-boiled water and allow to soak overnight.
  2. The swollen seed can then be sown, and re-treat seeds that have not swollen.
  3. Sow 3-4mm deep, keep warm & moist but not wet or dry.

Germination should occur in 10-21 days @ 18-22C.

Please note:

  • Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
  • As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate, keep them moist but not too wet.
  • These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
  • The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region.
