Mark, how are you storing the seed between the time it ripens in the

autumn

and the time it is sown in the spring?

Jim:
We lived along the Housatonic River in NW Connecticut and skunk cabbage was
native to the property. Fresh, uncleaned seed, sown in the fall, left
outside for the gelatinous coating to disintegrate naturally, germinates in
the spring. It was never necessary to store the seed. A lazy gardener, I
tend to sow the seed when it is collected, Onixotis stricta this morning.
Want some?

S. foetidus plants brought to NC failed to thrive, probably too much heat.
