*Full Copy of BX 224* *>From Roy Herold: (SEEDS)* *1. Polygonatum falcatum 'Silver Streak' (or 'Silver Stripe' or 'Silver Lining')* *2. Polygonatum macranthum The most spectacular Solomon's Seal. Long arching stems nearly 2m long, with big shiny leaves and huge, 5cm long flowers.* *3. Polygonatum odoratum 'Red Legs' Originally from Leo Blanchette, his selection for the reddest stems. These are redder than any other polygonatum I have encountered, and are particularly showy this fall as the leaves turn yellow. Very different habit from the plant offered as P. odoratum 'Variegated', with wider, closer spaced leaves and more compact.* *4. Polygonatum sp. My collection from Yunnan in 1996, but not sure exactly where (lost the tag...). Sort of like cirrhifolium, but might be something else. Up to 2m tall but needs some support at this height from a stake or neighboring shrubs. White flowers, red fruit.* *Polygonatum planting instruction from Aaron Floden: "As far as sowing the seed, what I have done to get the quickest germination is to set them outside or refrigerate for 40-60 days, take out into 75+ temperatures which will initiate formation of a rhizome, let grow for 60 days (you can fertilize lightly during this time), then acclimate to another winter temperature. This will shorten the appearance of the first leaf from two growing seasons to about 9 months. I did this with several species this past winter and have the first leaves going dormant now."* *5. Arisaema stewardsonii The lumpers put this in with A. triphyllum, but to me it is a very different plant. The spathe is heavily corrugated, usually white on green, and it blooms about a month later than regular triphyllum. This form was found growing wild in North Reading, MA.* *6. Glaucidium palmatum Not a bulb, but still worthy of consideration for the woodland garden. These seeds are from what I consider to be my best form, with large 5 to 6 inch pale lavender flowers, usually two per stem, and huge leaves nearly a foot across. Kind of ephemeral so plant now.* *>From Dave Brastow:(Small corms/bulbs)* *7. Arisaema candidissimum (few) from Northwest Perennial Alliance seed - 2002* *8.
