<< We have collected some local (Central Iowa) Soloman's Seal this fall and
are trying to find out how to get the best results from seeding. One book
says the berry may contain germination inhibitors, one says the seeds are
double dormant and one book says only purchased, stored seeds are double
dormant. First of all do I separate and clean the seeds from the berry or
not? Then what does it take , what kind of treatment(s) do I give to get
them to grow next spring if possible?

Germination of Solomon seal seeds is variable from a few months to 2 years.
Sow in the fall and allow to over winter, clean the few seeds from the fruits
and cover lightly with moist medium or sow in a protected spot in the ground.
Plants will take 3 years or more to reach flowering size.
