How to Propagate Bellworts?
Primary propagation methods for bellworts include division and seed sowing. Successful propagation is influenced by adequate moisture, well-drained soil, and partial shade. Special considerations involve careful handling due to bellworts's delicate nature. Generally, this species is moderately difficult to propagate as seeds have complex dormancy requirements. For division, the best time is in spring or fall. Steps: 1) Gently dig up the clump, 2) Separate the rhizomes ensuring each section has roots and shoots, 3) Replant immediately at the same soil depth, spaced adequately. For seeds: 1) Sow freshly collected seeds in fall, 2) Provide cold stratification if stored, 3) Plant in a shady location in moist, humus-rich soil.
