<strong>ERYTHRONIUMS</strong> <strong>IN</strong> <strong>CULTIVATION</strong><br />
<strong>©</strong> <strong>Ian</strong> <strong>Young</strong><br />
Seed<br />
Seed is the best way to increase this species and you can expect around thirty seeds from a well fertilised capsule.<br />
I store the seed dry in paper packets over the summer, ideally sowing it at the end of August after soaking it<br />
overnight. Above you see the same seed as in the previous picture which has now been been soaked ready for<br />
sowing – In the picture below is the resulting germination the following spring.
