I have just collected seeds from fringed gentian (Gentianopsis crinita) if anyone would like to try growing it. I'd like to trade for other woodland flowers like
arbutus, trailing - epigaea repens
bluebead lily - clintonia barealis
bellwort, large flowered - uvularia grandflora
bluets, narrow-leaved - hedyotis longifolia
hepatica - americana acutiloba
pipsissewa - chimaphila umbellata
pyrola, pink - pyrola asarifolia
skunk cabbage - pymplocarpus foetidus
streptopus roseus - rose twisted-stalk
swamp laurel - kalmia palifolia
trout lily, white - erythronium albedum
twinflower, linnaea borealis
other gentians or open to suggestions.

I am interested in your seeds from fringed gentian. I have some plants on your want list but no seeds. Do you have other native seeds/plants to trade? plantbug

I am very interested in your Fringed Gentian. Do you have directions on germinating them? If not, can you direct me to a site where I can learn how to do same?
I do not have any wildflowers, but you can check my trade list noted below. THANK YOU !

Seeds should be collected and processed quickly after ripe to insure viability. Stratify in a cold moist media, like damp sand, in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 weeks. Surface sow in damp but not wet soil at around 70 degrees F. Seeds require light for germination. Germination should occur in 3 to 4 weeks.
