<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.
