Love-In-A-Mist Seeds,
Mulberry Rose

Sow in place in late fall, in winter, or in early to mid spring. Give the plants a very well drained, moist, rich soil in full sun, or part shade in hot-summer areas. Seed germinates in 10 to 21 days, and plants come into bloom in about 65 to 75 days. Once established, they self sow freely.

• Mulberry trees are hardy in zones 4-8.
• Choose a location in full to partial sun with well-drained soil.
• Plants prefer a neutral to mildly acidic, nutrient-rich soil.
• Space plants 30-50 ft. apart.

• Water deeply weekly.
• Fertilize 1-2 times a year, only in late winter, with a balanced NPK fertilizer that also contains micronutrients.
• Only prune dead, diseased, and crossing branches.
• Prune while the tree is dormant.
• Trees will produce fruit in 2-3 years.

• Mulberry trees are easily grown from seed but may take 5-10 years to fruit.
• Harvest mature fruit when it has darkened and gotten soft.
• Put berries in warm water and smash them with your fingers to help release the seeds.
• Pour the mash into a mesh strainer and rinse off the pulp.
• Lay seeds out on a screen to dry in a well-ventilated area.
• Store seeds in a cool, dry, and dark place until you are ready to plant.
• Plants can also be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings in the spring or early summer.
