Chamaelirium is easy to grow from fresh seed and matures in about 3 years.
It rarely offsets so rhizomes are hard to divide. I assume, but have never
tried, that cutting the terminal end off will induce growth of secondary
buds along the rhizome.

I would hardly say that it is rare. Like with other plants, "uncommon, but
locally abundant" would describe it better. I see it in mesic to dry oak
woods, on shaded roadsides, creek banks, and even relatively acidic dry
woodland so it is habitat nonspecific. That said, it can be picky in the
garden at times and only flowers every other year or so -- none of mine are
flowering this year and all flowered last year.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience growing Chamaelirium
luteum, from seed or otherwise. It is not included on the wiki, for some
reason, although it grows from a rhizome.

It is an EAm native, though reportedly rare. Horizon Herbs (Williams, OR)
offers seed of this and I'd like to give it a try.

Thanks,
-Travis
