Propagation protocol for giant trumpets (Macromeria viridiflora DC. [Boraginaceae])

Abstract:

Giant trumpets (Macromeria viridiflora DC. [Boraginaceae]) is a plant well suited for xeric native landscapes. At the Arboretum at Flagstaff in Arizona, we collect seeds in fall. Optimum germination is accomplished with stratification. Seedlings grow well in the greenhouse and can be outplanted about 4 mo after sowing.
