How to grow it

STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit and remove the seed packet. If seeds have any fruit residue, gently clean them. Place seeds in the provided moistened growing medium inside a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 90-120 days. Check moisture every 2 weeks.

PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Plant seeds ½ inch deep. Water gently until evenly moist. Place in a location with bright, indirect light (65-75°F) or under a grow light for 12-14 hours/day. Germination typically occurs within 21-60 days.

SEEDLING CARE: Once seedlings develop 2-3 sets of true leaves, move to brighter filtered light. Water consistently — Dogwoods are sensitive to drought. When seedlings reach 6 inches, transplant to a larger pot or outdoors in USDA Zones 5-9, choosing a location with morning sun and afternoon shade. Mulch heavily to keep roots cool and moist.
