Forb Seed Production and J.H. Stone Nursery

J. Herbert Stone Nursery began producing native forb seed in 1996. Nursery seedbeds are established from source-identified wild seed populations collected on public lands. Each collection (seedlot) is maintained separately from other seedlots of the same species to prevent cross-pollination. Sowing, culturing, harvesting and storage practices for seed propagation are discussed. Keywords: Restoration, native plants, federal nurseries, seed propagation, public lands, source-identified seed, forbs
