Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for patient gardeners with experience handling seeds with multi-cycle germination patterns. Apparently these grow best if given a cold period of 2 to 3 months, followed by a warm period of 2 to 3 months, and then another 2- to 3-month cold period. The seeds you receive will have been chilled since September 14, 2022. It’s up to you whether you want to give them artificial cold-warm-cold periods to try to speed up the sprouting or just sow them in an outdoor pot or nursery bed as soon as you get them; some seedlings might appear the first spring but more likely not until the second spring.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description

Solomon’s plume or false Solomon’s seal (Maianthemum racemosum, formerly Smilacina racemosa) is a woodland wildflower native to much of the eastern half of North America. Typically reaching 2 to 3 feet tall, the arching stems carry alternate, rich green leaves and are tipped with a cluster of small, creamy white flowers in mid to late spring. The flowers develop into round, red-speckled berries that ripen to solid red in early fall. Partial shade; average to moist soil. Perennial; Zones 3 or 8.

2022-collected seeds sold out. I hope to collect again in September 2023. They have been cleaned and stored in moist vermiculite in my refrigerator since collection. Each packet will contain at least 10 seeds. PA ecotype.
