I’ve been unsuccessful with these seeds so far. Any tips?
Belladonna seeds are slow to germinate, as you have found. The seeds may still require as long as a month to germinate. At Richters Herbs we do not use this treatment for Belladonna. Instead, we stratify the seeds for 4-8 weeks in seed flats, in a refrigerator. After this period, the seed flats are placed in a seed bed with bottom heat of 21 degrees Celsius. The seeds begin to germinate after about 3-4 weeks. It takes some patience, but we are rewarded with a high germination rate, close to 80%.
