Growing your own herbs from seed is the most economical way to add natives to your flower garden, herb garden or open forest. Before you get started, one of the most important things to know about the seeds of wild plants is that many have built-in dormancy mechanisms that prevent the seed from germinating. In nature, this prevents a population of plants from germinating all at once, before killing frosts, or in times of drought. To propagate native wild flower seeds a gardener must break this dormancy before seed will grow.

STRATIFICATION NEEDED - To stratify your Wild Yam Seeds, place the container in the refrigerator in some moistened peat, sand or paper towel in a closed container or sealed plastic bag. Store seeds this way for 60 days. Keep moist/damp but not wet.
