Phytolacca americana ‘Variegata’ (Variegated Pokeweed) [10 Seeds]

Germination Information: Seedlings of ‘Variegata’ are usually all variegated, but the amount and pattern varies from plant to plant.

I recommend these only for gardeners who are experienced with perennial seeds that require a cold-moist period to germinate. The easiest approach is to sow—about 1/4 inch deep—in fall to late winter, setting the container outdoors in a spot protected from mice so the seeds can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing method works well for germinating pokeweed seeds. Those I winter-sowed on December 25 started to sprout on April 13; your experience will likely vary.)

If you sow after February, plant the seeds in a pot and give it an artificial chilling period of about 2 months.

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