Wild Ginger Germination: To break this seed's dormancy, mix it with moist sand and store it in an 80 degrees F location for 60 days, followed by 60 days in the refrigerator. For fall planting, only the warm period is needed since the winter will provide the necessary cool period. Direct sow the treated seed in spring, sowing the seeds 10” apart just below the surface and keeping the soil moist until germination. If the soil dries out, germination will be greatly reduced or delayed. Wild Ginger prefers moist but well drained soil and shade. Growing Wild Ginger Seeds: This plant grows very slowly, though once established it is a hardy and low maintenance plant. Over time, it spreads by rhizomes and will form a colony; rooted cuttings from mature plants will produce new plants fairly quickly. Though it tolerates some drought, it grows best if watered occasionally. A mulch of leaves will help conserve moisture and improve the soil. This plant makes an excellent low ground cover for woodland or shaded areas. The foliage attracts butterflies, especially the Pipevine Swallowtail; it also resists deer. Harvesting Wild Ginger: This plant should not be used internally, since it contains substances that can be poisonous. The leaves can be irritating to the skin. Saving Wild Ginger Seeds: The oval gray seeds will form in the base of the flower, after it has wilted and become hidden under the leaves. Remove the wilted flower heads and open them to find the seeds. Plant them immediately, or store them in moist sand in the refrigerator until planting.
