Black Cohosh Seeds Organic .
HOW TO GROW BLACK COHOSH :
Step 1
Start by placing some moist garden soil into a zip-lock bag and then mixing the seeds through. The seeds require a period of cold stratification prior to sowing. This will help replicate the natural conditions over winter that helps to break the seeds dormancy. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for a period of around eight weeks. Check the soil once every two weeks and add some water to maintain a moist but not wet mixture. If sowing in Autumn, skip the cold stratification process, follow the instructions in Step 2 and expose the seeds to the natural weathering of winter.Step 2
Sow the seeds either directly into the ground (in a shaded position that is protected from strong winds) or into small pots of rich humus soil, ideally at a PH level of between 5 and 6. Cover the seeds lightly, moisten and leave in a position where the temperature will remain steady around 15°C/59°F. If sowing directly into the ground, wait until after the last frost andwhen daytime temperatures consistently reach 20°C/68°F. Moisten and leave in a warm, well-lit or sunny position. Ideal temperatures for germination are 15-20°C/59-68°F. Black Cohosh seeds can be difficult to germinate and can take between 1-6 months. If seeds have not sprouted when winter arrives, continue to keep them moist but not wet. If they sprout before the last frost keep the seedlings well protected either with cover or by bringing the pots indoors. Young seedlings that are exposed to frost will surely die.Step 3
If transplanting from pots, do so once the seedlings have reached 10cm (4 inches) in height. Allow for 60-100cm (24-40 inches of spacing between seedlings. The final position should be in shade or semi-shade. Finish transplanting by watering in the seedlings. Once established, plants can tolerate cold temperatures down to -20°C/-4°F. The roots of Black Cohosh can be ready to harvest in between three and five years.
