- Unit price
- / per
This hardy perennial is native to North America, does well in shady, acidic conditions. Makes for a great groundcover under acidic loving plants. The white flowers are lightly fragrant and bloom from May to June. The red berries are a great source of food for, as the name suggests, partridges. Though they are a source of food for a variety of birds and mammals.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zone: 3-8
Height: 2", 5cm
Location: Shade
Seeds per packet: 10 (previously 5)
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Cover them with clear plastic and place in a fridge for 60 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought to 20-22°C (68-72°F) to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer, and will germinate irregularly over a long period of time. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
