  • How to grow Wood Vetch Seeds
    Wood Vetch seeds should be sown in spring or autumn, outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered lightly with compost. Germination can be improved by lightly rubbing the seeds between 2 sheets of sandpaper. This is known as scarification and helps break down the tough outer shell of Wood Vetch seeds. The seedlings can then be pricked out and grown on, for planting out later in the year.
