I've had plants from seed but they never show a second time. I suspect the rodents are eating them, they are a small corm as well. And they use the same trick as the Dog-tooth Violets, many tiny corms in with a few larger ones. This trick needs many plants for it to work, though. If there are only a few the critters get 'em all. Must try again!Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816600563832631710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191776294612983889.post-253228870674178982016-05-09T14:38:52.704-07:002016-05-09T14:38:52.704-07:00You have a wonderful collection of native plants. ...You have a wonderful collection of native plants. Where I grew up in the Laurentians in Quebec, we always looked forward to the Spring Beauty that grew in our maple bush. I didn't know that the squirrels and chipmunks eat the larger dog-tooth violets. It does explain why the immature plants greatly outnumber the mature ones.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816796977553847916noreply@blogger.com
