    Bark splitting from my Idaho Locust

    Vinca flower seeds

    Hi and welcome to our forum. You will need to crush the seed cases to release the seeds...when planting lightly cover the seeds with soil...you could start the seed anytime in trays in a sunny window...use a sterile soil designed for starting seeds.
