Christmas Bush Seeds . 
 
HOW TO GROW SWEET BURSARIA :

Step 1
Surface sow seeds into a seed tray containing a well draining seed raising mix and cover lightly with 1-2 mm more soil. Moisten soil with a spray bottle to avoid disturbing the seeds or over watering. Place the tray inside a plastic bag and put into the fridge for 4 weeks (this cold stratification period will improve germination results). Check every few days to be sure the soil is not drying out and moisten if necessary.
Step 2
Once the 4 week period is complete, take the tray out of the fridge and place into a warm, well lit (not in full direct hot sun) location to germinate. Keep moist during the entire germination process.Ideal temperature for germination is 10-18°C/50-65°F Germination will occur within 4-6 weeks of being moved from the fridge in warmer conditions.
Step 3
Seeds are ready fro transplant once they have at least 2 true adult leaves. Pot out once strong enough and after the last frosts of winter have passed.Final location can be quite varied, this plant is hardy and is native to several different climates around Australia (from Tasmania to tropical North Queensland!) For this reason it will cope in full sun or light shade and is frost tolerant to -5°C/23°F
