Question: I would like to know how to get seeds of the gas plant to grow. Three of us have tried, but none of the seeds ever grow. I have a pink and a white plant and would like several more. IF, Minnesota
Answer: Gas plant, dictamnus, is best grown by sowing the seeds directly in the location where they are to remain. Sow the seeds in the fall, not later than November and in the spring they should sprout and grow rapidly. The hard seeds in their woody capsules require winter freezing and thawing before they will germinate.
