GREEN DRAGON Arum pinellia pedatisecta
SKU: 911-3
Description
Very similar to Jack In The Pulpit (Arisaema), the Green Dragon pinellia are rare plants have exotic-looking foliage and flowers! The plants are long-lived hardy perennials!
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Height: 36", 3 feet, 90cm
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: As with many perennial seeds, these seeds can benefit from a period of moist cold to help them break dormancy. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of your growing medium, and water. Place your container in a cold area (but not freezing, perhaps a refrigerator) for 4-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks after the warming period.
If you are planting your seeds in late winter or spring, these seeds can be planted outdoors while it is still cool out (once the ground is workable and unfrozen), to receive the cold period naturally in the garden.
