Fragrant Hosta: Sweet-Scented Plants for Your Garden ? How to Grow Fragrant Hosta from Seeds: 1. When to Plant: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in spring. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in early spring after the last frost. 2. Prepare the Soil: Choose a shady or partially shaded area with rich, well-draining soil. Add compost to improve soil fertility and drainage. 3. Sowing the Seeds: Sow seeds on the surface of the soil — do not cover as they need light to germinate. Lightly press the seeds into the soil. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. 4. Germination Conditions: Maintain a warm temperature of about 65–75F (18–24C). Germination can take 10-20 days, so be patient! 5. After Germination: Once seedlings have a few leaves, thin them out to give them enough space to grow (about 12–18 inches apart). Transplant into larger pots or directly into the garden once they’re strong enough. 6. Ongoing Care: Water regularly, especially in dry spells. Mulch around the base to keep the soil cool and moist.
