: Wow. That's a tough question. I am
: no expert, but here is what I have
: learned from my little experience.
: Revolutia seeds like to sit about 6
: months before they germinate. So
: your situation may depend on the age
: of the seeds. If they were old,
: then maybe on two germinations was a
: good number. The rest of the seeds
: may be no good. If they were young,
: some more may come up later. Last
: spring I planted some revolutias and
: many came up. I took the remaining
: seeds and lightly covered them in a
: pot and pretty much ignored them.
: Right before Christmas, two more
: came up, when the seeds were about a
: year old. So I guess, long story
: short, my answer is that I don't
: know the answer to your question,
: but don't give up. Let the seeds
: sit around until they rot. But
: generally with revolutias you will
: get a much higher germination rate
: than 20% if the seeds are good.
