RE: Sickly Blue Cohosh- need help

Blast!  I would plant more there, but I don't even remember where I got that plant to begin with!  Can they be all in one clump?  Thanks for your help Gene.

Hi,
    No, you do not absolutely have to have another plant to get berries.
But, you will get more berries more often, and usually larger berries if
there are two or three plants in a area together. Cross pollination is
almost always better that the self-fertilization thing.
    If you were going to have berries this year you would know it by now.
Blooms were way back in the early spring, and by now you would be seeing the
berries. Nice porcelain blue right on top of the foliage.

> Gene, I'm in Oregon so I'm sure I have rather acidic soil.  However, I do
topdress all beds with mushroom compost which should neutralize it somewhat.
I did get flowers this year, but so far I'm not convinced they will turn to
berries.
