	Triosteum perfoliatum Code: TR91-A7 Price: $2.35 Quantity in Basket: none
	'Late Horse Gentian' or 'Wild Coffee' Caprifoliaceae: Plants are unbranched and grow 2 to 3 feet tall, they have pairs of opposite leaves along the stem. The pairs of leaves alternate orientation with each other along the stem length, and the leaves are joined together and wrap around the stems. Small maroon to yellowish flowers are produced at the leaf axils, later clusters of orange mini tomato-like berries are produced. This interesting plant (not really an attractive border subject) should be grown in light shade in areas that have some dappled sunlight; they do best in mesic to slightly dry areas with loamy or rocky soils that have an abundance of organic matter. Soak seeds in hot water for 24 hours, change water every 8 hours with fresh hot water, Sow and leave out side for germination in one or two years. Hard seeds, filling first helps. 14 seeds
