SHRUBS FROM SEED 
Sow in late autumn, outside of course, and you are pretty 
sure to get strong germination next spring. Handle just 
exactly as you would the perennial flowers that need fall 
sowing, and they will be just as easy. They come on quickly, 
too, faster than you likely expect, making a quite surprising 
showing within two or three years.
