Hi Cinda -- never did get an answer; I tried planting the seeds, both by winter sowing and just in a pot outdoors once the weather warmed up a bit, and didn't get any sprouts at all. I suspect the seed was old or something. I think I might try growing a couple of plants next summer if I can find a source. I did see it listed on a website a while back, now I'm not sure which one -- maybe Mountain Valley Growers?
It supposedly grows up here, my former mother-in-law first told me about the local Native Americans using it for making baskets. So many interesting things, so little time...
Edited to say: Mountain Valley Growers does sell it...
