Germination
Germinating Aquilegia rockii seeds involves several steps. Since Aquilegia rockii seeds have a hard outer coat, they benefit from a process called stratification to break dormancy. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel or a plastic bag filled with moistened vermiculite or sand, and refrigerate them for 3-4 weeks. After stratification, prepare a seed starting tray or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a combination of peat moss and perlite. Moisten the soil evenly, ensuring it's not waterlogged. Sow the Aquilegia rockii seeds evenly over the surface of the soil and lightly press them into the soil with your fingertips. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Place the tray or pots in a cool location with indirect sunlight, maintaining a temperature between 55-65°F (13-18°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Germination typically occurs within 3-6 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, provide adequate spacing if growing in trays, or transplant them into individual pots when they have developed a few sets of true leaves. Continue to care for the seedlings with proper watering, light, and nutrients as they grow into mature Aquilegia rockii plants.

Germination
Germinating Rosa rugosa seeds can be a rewarding process. Scarify the seeds to break their dormancy. You can achieve this by gently nicking the seed coat with a file or sandpaper, imitating the natural wear and tear that might occur in the wild. Soak the scarified seeds in water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat. Next, plant the seeds in a well-draining potting mix, typically a blend of peat moss and sand, and sow them at a shallow depth, about 1/4 inch. Water the soil thoroughly and place the container in a sunny location with indirect sunlight. The seeds may take several weeks to several months to germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, you can transplant them into your garden or chosen location, where they will grow into these lovely Arkansas rose shrubs, gracing your landscape with their beautiful pink blooms and providing sustenance for local wildlife.
