Codonopsis clematidea |
 |
|
Unlike its climbing cousin C. lanceolata, this is a rambler that is somewhat self-supporting but likes to use neighboring plants or shrubs as a support. Not as robust as C. lanceolata either - it took me several tries to get seedlings established and strong enough to weather a summer and a winter. But it looks like my efforts have been worthwhile - charming nodding bellflowers over a backdrop of small leaves.

- Seed from '02 trade. Baggy 35F (16%G, 4-10 wks)-70F (no further germination)
Seed from T&M. Baggy 70F (40%G, 9-13d)
- Seed from '02 trade. Baggy 70F (80%G, 8-16d)
- Seed from '05 trade. Baggy 70F (47%G, 6-9d)
Best treatment for these lots seems to be just germinate at room temperature. Note that Deno saw different germination behavior for commercial and wild-collected seed lots.
