100 REAL Dwarf Hairgrass SEEDS Aquarium Aquatic Hair Grass Eleocharis acicularis

Description: Up for your consideration is this lot of 100 Dwarf Hairgrass seeds.. the species is Eleocharis acicularis. These are the REAL THING. Grown and harvested by me in my hobby greenhouse here in Illinois. These are rarely offered to the hobbyist and the supply is limited. This species grows about 3" tall and will make an excellent carpet once it's well established. Growing aquarium and aquatic plants from seed is not that unusual. One of the world's largest producers of aquatic plants (located in Denmark) uses seed to produce some of the aquatic plants that they grow in rockwool and sell in net pots (they even state it on their website). Growing Eleocharis from seed is challenging because Eleocharis seeds are very small... smaller in size than petunia seeds if you are familiar with those. Unlike many aquatic species, Eleocharis does not need a cold/wet period before sowing to break dormancy. They can be sown right out of the package. They also should be grown in emersed conditions (roots in moist soil, leaves in the air) at first and then transferred to an aquarium later if you wish. The seeds are small and because of this do require care when planting. This is all explained in the instructions that are included with each order. The photograph of the young seedlings was taken about 1 week after sowing. The photograph of the plant in the aquarium is for illustration only and shows what the adult plants will look like. You will receive 100 genuine Eleocharis acicularis seeds and growing instructions with each order. Orders for three or less seed packets will be shipped in a regular stamped envelope with no tracking. I ship them this way to keep the costs down for you. I will ship orders for 4 or more total packages of seeds in a USPS First Class package with tracking... so if you want tracking please order 4 or more packets of seeds (they can be the same or different varieties). If you don't agree with this please do not purchase the seeds. I will also cancel all orders to a re-shipper. They do not function well with stamped envelopes. Thank you for understanding. Please see my other listings for more aquatic plant seed varieties that I offer. I've been growing aquatic plants for 50 years and I first sold aquatic plant seeds in the early 1980's through classified ads in popular aquarium magazines. Give aquatic seeds a try... it's a satisfying experience and science is fun! Thank you.
