Hello,
Can anyone provide tips on getting Streptopus amplexifolius to germinate?
It grows wild here and I've found areas with fairly large populations. I
can collect seed, and lots of it, but I've yet to be able to germinate it.
Methods I've tried are - pot in a cold frame, direct in a marked protected
spot in the garden (several spots), in the fridge and then in my plant
room. Also have tried with whole berries, and with cleaned seed. This is
over a 3 year period.
The berries do persist into fall so I've not been able to determine if
they are eaten by anything and spread that way? Do they require digestion
acids to germinate?

Trying to find the bright side of all this snow is becoming difficult.
Last year this time I was photographing beaked hazelnut flowers. Crocus
are under 2' of snow right now.
