Posted by hello85 6a (My Page) on

Hello,

I am looking for seeds of some spring woodlands - or perhaps small plants, of any of the following (either this year, or next)...

Harbinger of Spring (Erigenia bulbosa)
Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis)
Blue Eyed-Mary (Collinsia verna)
White Trout Lily (Erythronium albidum)
Red Trillium (Trillium erectum)
Yellow Trillium (Trillium luteum)
Snow Trillium (Trillium nivale)
Carolina Spring Beauty (Claytonia caroliniana)
Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium van-bruntiae)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks much!
God bless,
Jeff

I'm not a seed grower - I need instant gratification[g!] - so can't help you there. But Arrowhead Alpines carries an excellent selection of woodland plants - quite a few that were included on your list. If you can't find seeds, this may be a viable alternative.

Here is a link that might be useful: Arrowhead Alpines, woodland plants

What are you planning to do with all these different kinds of seeds you're asking for?

Some of these woodland ones are pretty tricky to germinate, you know.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...

I'm not planning to do anything special with them, other than grow them in my woodland garden. I am familiar with the difficulty of getting woodland seeds to germinate, but I don't usually have too much trouble. I either plant them outside, and let them come up naturally, or I'll put them in little cups in moist dirt through the winter so that they can get any stratification they need.

Thanks again,
God bless,
Jeff

Gardens North offer several of the species on your list :-)

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good reference to use to understand when/how to gather seeds for native woodlands?
