• Question

  Do Pyrola spread by seeds? Can they be successfully transplanted? TY in advance

  Answer

  rgallica, Yes, Pyrola species produce viable seeds, so they do spread via this method. I have not ever attempted transplanting them, but given their perennial nature and the fact they do have underground storage organs, I suspect transplanting may be successful. That written, please be careful and steward your wild populations to prevent loss and keep in mind these species require specific mycorrhizal fungi for growth. Best wishes.
