to sow it. So, this doesn't need stratification? Does it want warm
temps or moderate or cool?
Hi Marge:
No stratification is necessary, the seed quickly loses viability. They do
not produce a leaf the first year, only a radicle. I sow in peatlite/sand, pots
are under a bench in a frost free greenhouse. Others sow in bottomless pots
sunk into a very protected outside area. Either way, they are as slow, if not
slower, than Trillium; perhaps 6-7-8-9 years before flowering. They will want
"coolth". Much more info is available by searching the trillium-L archives.
