European wild ginger

Sowing method: First, place in a warm and humid spot for 6-8 weeks (seed swells), then put the seed tray in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks; an hour of frost is beneficial (activates germination hormones), sometimes seeds even germinate in the refrigerator. Afterwards, move to a warmer spot, but no warmer than 10°C. If germination doesn't occur, repeat the cycle. Sowing outdoors is also an option, provided the summer and winter offer suitable conditions. If, for example, the winter is too mild, it will take an extra year.
