My jack in the pulpit seeds are ripe, and should be planted now for best possible germination in the spring. If you want any, give me a yell (not too loud, my cat will get scared)! I have enough for about 8 people to get 2 seeds each (I want to keep a few myself :)
The seeds will be sent still in their coverings, fresh off the plant. That seems to be the best way for quick germination. Make sure you check the Plant Database for how to grow them from seed.
I am posting this here so that shade people will get first dibs. Oh, and if anyone has seeds for other shade-loving natives, I would love some (especially trillium and American ginseng).
Jack in the pulpit seeds avail SASE: shade gdns pff'd

I would love to try some, l'lover.
Would you be interested in some cleome seeds, gold/yellow cosmos, or variegated sweet william (all sun)? That's about all the fresh seeds I have so far.
Hi Lupinelover,
Do you still have any seeds left? I have only Purple Coneflower, Love Lies Bleeding and Bachelor Buttons for now if you would like any of those. Please let me know.
Thanks
Ruth

If you still have any, I would be interested. Check out my trade list to see if I have anything of interest to you in trade.
I'd like to have some of your Jack-in-the-Pulpit seeds if I'm not too late.
See my trade list: http://davesgarden.com/edittl/viewbystatus.php?status=7437
to see if there's anything we could trade.
Thanks for the offer. Rose
if you still have any for sase, please let me know.
GrannyLois, you have mail (literally ;) I sent them out Monday, and I can't remember if I sent you confirmation afterward.
tIG: you will have mail: I sent them out today.
Karen7: I sent you an e-mail a few days ago, and I will send you another tonight. If you don't get it, please post here again.
Thanks, LL.
Not here yet.
Maybe tomorrow.
GrannyLois, get em yet? tIG? Karen, I still haven't heard back from you. My e-mail is erratic the past few days though.
i got them today!!! I hadn't caught up with this thread and didn't know they were coming! great instructions, thank you so much!!! something coming back at you!!!
No, not yet.
Probably tomorrow.
I am sending you mail - if you have any left and it is not too late I would love some for my new shade garden that I have just dug.
Thanks!
Alyssum, you will get the last of the seeds. They are dried, so I have sent directions how to plant them.
Hi: If you have any Jack in the Pulpit seeds left may I have some? I can send a SASE for them? Please let me know. Many thanks
My JIP seeds are ripening; they may be ready in another month. I will keep y'all posted ;D
lupinelover did you ever get your trillium seeds? My sister has trillium and if you tell me how to get the seeds we can both have some.
If trillium does set seed, it forms fleshy pods. These can be harvested when the pod begins to wither, and the seeds sown immediately. My nodding trillium and yellow trillium successfully set seed this year (for the first time despite hand-pollinating them in previous years).
My JIP seedpods are just beginning to change colors; another couple weeks and they should finish ripening.
Lupinelover
i have never thought of gathering the seeds
were are they on the plant ?
