Description
Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea), also called golden zizia, is a beauty in bloom, with umbels of bright yellow blooms atop 2- to 3-foot-tall stems in late spring to early summer. Native to much of the eastern half of North America, it catches the eye of gardeners and attracts a wide variety of butterflies and other pollinators. Full sun to partial shade. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8.
2021-collected seed sold out. I hope to collect again in July or August 2022. At least 20 seeds.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.

Didn’t germinate, I expect it was my fault, I have had trouble before. Used winter sowing technique.
I really appreciate your feedback, Stephen. I winter-sowed on December 31 and had the first seedlings germinate on April 10. It looks like you probably sowed in mid-January, which is pretty close to the same time, so that technique should have worked for you, but well, stuff happens (or doesn’t happen). I expect to harvest this year’s seeds in July and will send you a new packet so you can try again, or I’d be happy to give you a refund if you’d rather.
