OREGON WINTERGREEN
- Unit price
- / per
This hardy perennial shrub is native to Western North America, growing well in average soils. Blooms from May to June, flowers start off white, fading to pink. Berries are quite decorative and are great for adding to floral arrangements. Eventually these shrubs will grow into thickets if left unchecked.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 5-8
Height: 20", 50cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 50
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18°C, 59-68°F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
