Persicaria virginiana (Jumpseed) [20 Seeds]

$4.25

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for gardeners who have experience dealing with perennial seeds that require a chilling period. The easiest approach is to purchase and surface-sow (do not cover) the seeds in fall to mid winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing technique works well for these seeds.)

If you sow after January, give the pot of sown seeds an artificial chilling period of about 2 months, then set it outdoors. If seedlings don’t appear, leave the pot outdoors through the next winter and spring.

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

Description

If you’re a fan of variegated plants, you may already be familiar with the showier version of this species: Persicaria virginiana Variegata Group (also known as ‘Variegata’ or ‘Painter’s Palette’), which has red seeds and white-splashed leaves. This is the straight species, with solid green leaves, or sometimes with darker markings in spring. It is not nearly as eye-catching, but you may prefer it if you want something more natural-looking to fill space in a large shade garden or woodland. (It can spread by both rhizomes and self-sowing, which may be problematic in a small garden.) The upright stems produce slender wands of tiny, greenish white flowers in mid- or late summer to early fall that mature into green seedpods in fall, for a total height of about 3 feet. The species is native to the eastern half of North America; these seeds are from plants growing wild here at Hayefield in Bucks County, PA. Partial to full shade. Perennial; Zones 4 to 10.

Collected in early to mid September 2023. At least 20 seeds. PA ecotype. Shipping to US addresses only.
