How to Propagate Yellowhorn?
Gardeners primarily propagate yellowhorn via seed, although cuttings and grafting are also viable. Seeds require stratification, simulating winter conditions to break dormancy. Key factors include well-draining soil, full sun to partial shade exposure, and tempering expectations as yellowhorn can be challenging to propagate due to their low germination rate. For seeds: 1) Stratify for 60-90 days at 40°F (4°C), 2) Sow seeds 1-2 cm deep in well-draining soil, 3) Maintain consistent moisture, 4) Germinate at 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). With grafting, use compatible rootstock for better success. Cuttings require rooting hormones and controlled environments. Difficulty varies; seed propagation is moderately challenging while grafting requires expertise.
