What kind of plant is Paris polyphylla? Can it be grown in the north?

1. What is the plant?

It is a plant of the Liliaceae family, also known as seven-leaf lily and grass river car. It is a perennial herb, about 50 cm in height. The rhizome underneath is brown, grows horizontally and is relatively thick, with a very rough surface. The stem is relatively simple, growing upright, smooth and hairless. The petiole is about 1-3 cm long and the leaves are papery or membranous. In summer, yellow-green flowers bloom, and the pedicels emerge from the stem without branches.

2. Can it be grown in the north?

It is difficult to grow in the north and generally grows in southern regions such as Yunnan. It likes to grow in shady and humid places, so it is not very suitable for the northern region. If it needs to be planted in the southern region, the seeds will mature in November of the previous year and can be picked. You can use river sand or other particles to scrub off the red seed coat on the outside of it, and then rinse it under clean water. Cover the seeds with moist sand to help them germinate. In the spring of the following year, when you observe that the seeds show signs of turning white, you can sow them evenly in the soil.
