Hello Al,
Nope, arum seeds are not difficult at all. Just get them as the stalks
fall over, clean the pulp from the seeds and do not let them dry out before
sowing. Use rubber gloves when you clean the pulp or you may get blisters.
That means sowing around August sometime. Still may take a year before they
germinate. Will be about 3 years before you can move them... my preference
to get them up to size before placing them in the inventory. Best method is
to clean the sees and simply sow them in a raised bed or good rich bed in
open shade where they can grow on. Will do much better than if in containers
and fed.
