Thanks for that! I had read a few, some talk about how to get the seeds to germinate. They tend to germinate better with more sun, and then if left with more sun, a lot die off so you need the sun to germinate and then shade to grow. makes sense with a forest that would have sun in the spring before the leaves fill in and then a lot of shade. The seeds also take sometimes 2 years before they germinate, depending on conditions. They need enough warm time right away to let the roots grow, and then a cold time for the stems/leaves - so if I get them in early enough this fall, they will be able to sprout in the spring. I've got a nice 'forest floor' area for them to grow in that has always been problematic in growing other things so I'm excited about trying them there. Smiling I'll let you all know how it goes!
