He remarked that the seeds would germinate, but soon fail due to the lack of oak roots, on which they are obligate parasites. Some folks that I was working with that same year, did sow some seed we had collected, in flats. Germination rate was great. I advised them to plant out the seedlings as soon as possible, which they did. Apparently the seedlings didn't make it, although they do now have (2 years later) a single stem in that same location. Maybe one of the seedlings actually did survive. I haven't tried germinating the species' seed.Rhody Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271363814979029952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741465277709213773.post-61522300177310761742016-01-16T21:21:41.153-05:002016-01-16T21:21:41.153-05:00I have no new information.

The seeds are very small and I believe they need light to germinate, so just press them onto the surface of the soil.

A school nearby (in MA) has a number of flowering plants each year, and I would love to get some of the seed to germinate and produce flourishing plants!<br />Carol R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741465277709213773.post-35754206904592874042013-03-04T17:19:55.557-05:002013-03-04T17:19:55.557-05:00Hope,

I think there was a recommendation that fresh seed is better (mine was not particularly fresh). I tried it alone, in pots with Oak seedlings, with blueberries and under established oaks. None of these produced any results. Maybe taking a little soil from an area that has Aureolaria already established will provide some microbial assistance.<br /><br />Best of Luck!Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968308521542858800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741465277709213773.post-39921159800254316992013-03-04T14:12:32.853-05:002013-03-04T14:12:32.853-05:00Hi Adam,

We wild collect native seed and work with propagators to bring the plants to market. I am wondering if you had any luck propagating Aureolaria pedicularia? Or if you have come across any sources to guide you in trying to propagate hemiparasitic species. You can contact me by email at hleeson@rinhs.org.<br /><br />Thanks!
