Question

What is the best way to germinate poke weed seeds?

Answer 1

You should be aware that poke weed is poisonous.  What the other person suggested might work, but be sure to not let pets or children get near the seeds during the process.

Answer 2

"To propagate from seed, collect the purple berries and crush them in water. Allow the seeds to sit in the water for a few days. The good seeds will settle to the bottom. Spread seeds out to dry; store in a cool, dry location.

Soak pokeweed seeds in sulfuric acid to break dormancy and germination. After soaking seeds for 5 minutes, wash them under running water. Allow seeds to dry thoroughly before planting. Cover seeds lightly when planting. Seedlings can be transported into the garden after the chance of frost has passed. Set them at least 3 feet apart."
