| Propagule Collection: |
Seeds are collected between April 15th and September 10th. Mature inflorescences are brown. Seed is light brown-gray at maturity; spikelets turn from green-purple to brown. |
||
| Propagule Processing: |
Seed Cleaning: Not required. Seed Storage:Seeds are refrigerated and kept dry. |
||

| Growing Area Preparation/ Annual Practices for Perennial Crops: |
Fully Controlled Greenhouse. Sowing Method: Direct Seeding. 3 seeds are sown per container (10 cu inch Ray leach tubes). Seeds are surface sown and planted 2 times the diameter of seed to depth. Media used is standard potting mix of peat moss, fir bark, perlite, and sand. Containers are are watered in with an automatic irrigation system. Seeds are sown on June 1st. % Germination:65% |
||
| Establishment Phase: |
Seeds germinate 30 days after sowing. Seedlings are transplanted 30 days after germination to individual Ray Leach containers containing standard potting mix of peat moss, fir bark, perlite, and sand. Transplant Survival averages 75%. |
||
