Talk:Siberian squill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Question: does any one know the answer? It says that this plant can be planted into a lawn. I Have scattered some seed pods into my wooded area behind my house. Does "weed and feed" recognize the plant as a weed? Will it prevent the seeds from planting themselves?
I have always moved established plants. This works pretty good. I don't know the details of your weed & feed but suspect it will kill 'most anything that is not a grass. I have tossed around seed pods but don't know details of what makes them take or fail. If you look in a pod the seeds are very tiny, most of the pod is air.
If you like, you might make yourself a propagation bed, it doesn't have to be very big. You'd prep the soil and try to sprout seeds, just treat them like grass seed. Do not weed and feed this bed. When the plants are a year or two old either use them for seed production or move them into the wooded area. The adult plants spend a lot of time down in the ground sleeping. If you weed and feeded then, they might not even notice it.
