Please read both the seed guide and the plant specific sowing instructions. If you are unsure of the best way to germinate the seeds, DO NOT SOW ALL THE SEEDS. Keep some in case the germination method you use doesn’t work.
Cold stratify ALL perennials, shrub & tree seeds for at least 30 days unless the plant specific instructions indicate a longer period.
If you are not ready to plant the seeds, keep it in the refrigerator (not freezer).
ARUM ITALICUM ssp ITALICUM | ITALIAN ARUM
Plant Specific Instructions (Read “Seed Guide” as well): Sow seed in autumn in containers in a cold frame (seeds need cold stratification). Use coarse, soilless potting mix with additional grit or layers of wet sand (thin layer of seeds and a layer of well-moistened sand). In spring, check to see if germination has begun. Once germination has started, seeds must be sown immediately in the prepared bed with moist sand. Seeds germinate late, it could take a year or longer before germination begins. Read the Seed Guide for Perennials.
