Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 70°F (21°C). Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, sunny location. Acclimate young plants gradually before planting outdoors in a permanent site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Golden Hornet Crabapple seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795565150518,"sku":"FOLIA2-541","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7170327591_o7y3.jpg?v=1792671644","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-golden-hornet-crabapple-seeds-ornamental-tree-with-yellow-fruit","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
