Propagating Dogwood (Cornus) from Seed in the Himalayas

Stratification Methods

  1. Outdoor: Plant 1 inch deep in pot with potting soil. Leave outside for winter; water if dry. Sprouts in spring after frost.
  2. Refrigerator: Seeds in damp paper towel or sphagnum moss in sealed bag. Fridge 90 days. Then plant 1 inch deep in warm pot. Sprouts sporadically over 6 months.

Seedling Care

  • Prick out at first true leaves; pot separately.
  • Harden off 10 days in shade (protected from extremes).
  • Plant under tree canopy; dogwoods prefer semi-shade.
