HOW TO GROW AUSTRALIAN INDIGO :


Step 1
Start by boiling the kettle! Let the boiled water stand for ten minutes and the pour the hot water over seeds sitting in a waterproof container. Then allow the seeds to soak for about an hour and then drain and let the seeds dry off.

Step 2
Setup some pots or seed trays with a mixture of soil that contains a little bit of garden sand or perlite. This allows for good drainage. Sow the seeds when dry to the touch, directly onto the surface and then cover with about a 1-2mm layer of soil mixture. Moisten and then leave in a position where they will receive some direct morning sun but not full sun. Check regularly to ensure the soil mixture doesn't dry out and gently mist to add moisture. Temperatures for germination should consistently range between 15-25° / 59-77°F. This can be achieved indoors next to a window, outdoors during warm spring days or by covering the pots or trays with a clear plastic. Leaving them in a greenhouse or placing them on heat mats are good alternative options if attempting to start during colder winter temperatures. Germination of Australian Indigo can take between 2-4 weeks.

Step 3
Once sprouts start to appear remove any plastic (if using that method). If outside isn't subject to frost, move them to where they can get some morning sun and adapt to wind and other elements. This will help young seedlings to get stronger. Bring them inside if forecasts suggest frost or temperatures under 5°C / 41°F. Or move them into a shady location if temperatures exceed 35°C / 95°F. After a full growing season, they will be large and strong enough to plant outside permanently.

Step 4
Transplant young Australian Indigo plants into the ground after the last frost has passed. For their first full season outdoors, provide extra water during summer and mulch the base around the end of Autumn to offer some protection. After their second full winter they should start flowering and producing seed and will be established enough to tolerate any climate found within Australia. Australian Indigo can take between 12 months and 3 years to reach flowering stage.
