Germinating Trollius Seed 
Our Trollius seed was gathered from our 
nurseries during the past summer and, 
of course, is the freshest available. If 
you have not already started your seed 
and if you have a greenhouse follow this 
treatment: Get your seed at once, sow it 
shallow in flats and set the flats out¬ 
doors until the seeds have been well 
frozen, say until February. Then you can 
bring into the greenhouse under temper¬ 
ature of 45 to 55 degrees. The soil will 
gradually thaw out and the seedlings 
should be up in 3 weeks. There should 
be plenty of moisture in the soil to ger¬ 
minate the seed. Move into pots and keep 
the plants growing.
