35 seeds each
Fernleaf Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum) is a large species of yellow to reddish flowering plant in the carrot family. It is native to much of western North America, where it grows in varied habitat. It is found in the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range, Rocky Mountains, Klamath Mountains, eastern Transverse Range, and the Sierra Nevada in California.
Fernleaf Lomatium, known as Toza by the Numic speaking tribes of the Great Basin, was commonly used for food, medicine, and ceremonial purposes (Meilleur et al., 1990). It is one of the most widely used plant species in native North American culture.
It is still popular as a natural herbal medicine and has been shown to possess antiviral and antibiotic properties (McCutcheon et al., 1992; 1995).
NOTE: due to the fragile nature of the seeds, they are shipped in a small box to avoid crushing by postal processing. This results in an increased shipping charge, reflected in the seed cost.

Since stored seed is more difficult to germinate, direct sowing seeds in autumn brings the most success. As long as you experience temperatures of 40 degrees or below for a good part of the winter, Fernleaf Lomatium should have no trouble germinating.
If the seeds can’t be sown in autumn, they will need 3 months of cold, moist stratification. To stratify seeds indoors, mix them with a little moist soil in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator. Try to time the stratification so that it ends when temperatures are between 60-70 degrees F. Following sufficient stratification either sow the seed directly or in pots. At temperatures of 60-70 F, most of the seeds should germinate in about 3 weeks. You can often see some early germinators in the plastic bags in the refrigerator. This is a good sign that the seeds are ready to sow.
