Achlys triphylla
VANILLA LEAF, DEER FOOT, SWEET AFTER LIFE
SKU: 680-010
Achlys triphylla, common names sweet after death, deer-foot or vanilla-leaf, is a plant species native to the West Coast of North America. It has been reported from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and northern California. It is a spreading groundcover for shade with white bottlebrush spikes. Excellent in the woodland garden. The dried leaves are fragrant when crushed.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-7
Height: 12-14", 30-35cm
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface 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 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
