Hello.

I'd like to try growing Indian Paintbrushes from seed. So first, has anyone else done this and been successful? I understand that they are hemiparasitic and so I thought I'd try a few seeds in a meadowish area outside (direct sow) and maybe try some wintersown in a milk jug after hacking up a piece of grass to damage the roots....does this sound plausible?

Second, I read that if you wintersow, you can get a jumpstart by putting seeds in a bag w/a tiny bit of water, adding sulphur so seeds don't rot and putting the bag in the fridge. However, I have never handled sulphur....do I buy the powdered variety and shake some directly into the bag w/the seeds? Is there a spray form?

Thanks for any and all input!
