Germination Information
Pre-treatment: Seeds are dispersed in the fall months in containers buried in the soil outside, equivalent to moist cold stratification of 3-6 months
Establishment: Seed is collected by hand from locally native plants within the eastern central Upper Peninsula. The plant is found in rich deciduous woods often on hillsides, ranging from upland beech-maple and hemlock hardwoods to low floodplain woods and streamside thickets.
