Native woodland garden recipe

Select a large container (preferably a rectangular one), add a good potting soil mixture, press firmly and add:
 1/2 tbs Trillium grandiflorum seeds (+/- 50 s)
1 tbs Uvularia grandiflora seeds (+30 s)
1/2 tbs Clintonia borealis seeds (or other Trillium species)
1 tbs Caulophyllum thalictroides seeds (+/- 14 s)

Cover with 2+ cm of the same mixture and press well
Water slowly
Simmer for at least 2 years in a shaded location
For best results, dug the container in the ground, cover with a mesh; dry leaves in the fall
You may need to top up with fresh soil in the spring
Continue simmering, check regularly the water status
Ready to consume after 3-4 years (ie. to transplant the seedlings)

Optional, for more flavor sprinkle with:
Streptopus amplexifolius
Actaea spp.
Mitchella repens

Depending on the necessity, you can reduce the recipe in half, replace some of the species, or use individual pots grouped together in a flat or holding container.
*Those adventurous can also sow all these species ‘in situ’ (double up the recipe in that case).

Joke aside, from my own experience it is much easier to handle plant species with similar requirements for germination/growing conditions when grouped together.

Freshly cleaned Caulophyllum thalictroides seeds are back in stock!
Also more Podophyllum peltatum seeds!

Don’t forget to sow the moist packed seeds as soon as possible!
Thank you – Merci- Good luck!
