Wild leek (Allium tricoccum) Seeds
$ 6.00
Shade.
Moist fertile woodlands and river floodplains under deciduous trees.
Maine native.
In early spring low wide bright green strap-like leaves appear for a month then fade to yellow and disappear - a true spring ephemeral. In midsummer white globe-shaped flowers bloom for several weeks and support woodland pollinating insects. A beloved edible plant that is being overharvested in the wild. Seeds are slow to germinate and grow, but this plant needs more people propagating it to take pressure off the wild populations. 30 moist stratified garden-collected seeds. 8"
30 moist stratified seeds per package.
Germination codes: B, E, F
Each seed package carries a specific germination code along with the plant description. These codes indicate specific sowing instructions.
"B" seeds need a winter or cold period to germinate. Sow outdoors in fall or winter.
"E" seeds can not be allowed to dry out. Sow immediately.
"F" seeds take two years to germinate. Sow outside in the fall or winter and look for germination in the second spring. A shady location prevents the flats from rapid drying and reduces weeding.
