Propagation Goal: Plants Propagation Method: Vegetative Product Type: Bareroot (field grown) Stock Type: Bareroot plants Time To Grow: 1 Years Target Specifications: Stock Type: Bareroot nursery stock
Height: 5 cm
Caliper: n/a
Root System: Bareroot plant with well developed root system.Propagule Collection: Vegetative Propagation Method: Spring or Fall Divisions
Type of Cutting: Divisions. 30 to 50 plants with stolons are placed in a raised bed.Propagule Processing: none Pre-Planting Treatments: Transplants are planted into raised bed for increase of plants. Growing Area Preparation/
Annual Practices for Perennial Crops:
Outdoor nursery in raised bareroot bed.Establishment Phase: Soil in raised bed is equal parts: well rotted cow manure, sand, and soil mix. Hundreds of plants can be generated in one growing season. Length of Establishment Phase: 2 weeks Active Growth Phase: These are outplanted as bareroot material or can be potted into containers. Length of Active Growth Phase: 12 weeks Harvesting, Storage and Shipping: Total Time To Harvest: 1 year
Harvest Date: Spring or Fall
Plants are lifted from raised bed with shovel and outplanted as bareroot plants.
Storage Conditions: Plants overwinter in raised bed in outdoor nursery under snow cover.Length of Storage: 4 months Outplanting performance on typical sites: Outplanting Site: Avalanche, Glacier National Park, MT.
Outplanting Date: September.Other Comments: There are 3 botanical varieties: var. vesca, var. bracteata, and crinita.
Seed Propagation Method: Direct Seeding
Seed Processing: Seed is collected when the fruits turn red in mid summer. Seed is cleaned by maceration of the fruit using a Dyb-vig cleaner, and is washed and screened.
Seed Storage is estimated at 3 years.
Seed dormancy is classified as physiological dormancy.
Seed Treatments: A minimum of a 85 day cold, moist stratification is recommended for this species. Germination occurs at 21C. Seeds are covered with medium.
