Description
Interesting woodland perennial for shade that forms a clump of shiny leaves from among which a flowering stem arises in May bearing a yellow flowers. Towards mid summer/fall, the bright blue fruits become conspicuous and later will contrast with the yellowing foliage.
Slow to propagate and to reach flowering size from seeds, like a Trillium but a worthy addition for a moist, shady location. Good companions: Medeola virginiana, Coptis trifolia, Trientalis borealis, Polygonatum pubescens to mention just a few.
Germination: sown in the fall and the pots kept outdoor over the winter or if from moist packed seeds anytime (slightly warm/cold cycle required, some seeds need 2 years for complete germination, just like Trillium grandiflorum).
Seeds need to be kept moist at all times; I have tried it with dry seeds myself and it is not working.
