HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In order to germinate, this seed needs to experience cold temperatures for approximately 2 months. To accomplish this naturally, plant the wild rice seed in late fall, pressing it lightly into the surface. Make sure the seeds are covered with at least 2" of water, but not much more since sunlight will help the seeds germinate.
Growing: As the seedlings develop, the depth of water can gradually be increased. Keep in mind that the young plants may need to be protected from wild fowl, who love to eat them. Mature plants grow best in water ranging from 1/2 - 3 feet deep, though 1 1/2 feet deep produces the healthiest plants. Slowly flowing water is preferred over stagnant water. As well as being an important food source for ducks and other wild birds, this plant makes an excellent addition to water gardens and wetland restoration projects.
Seed Saving: As the wild rice seed ripens, it will turn from green to nearly black; watch it carefully to prevent loss, since it easily drops from the stem when fully ripe. Carefully strip the ripe seed from the stem or shake the plant gently over a container. Continue harvesting from the plant periodically as the seeds gradually ripen. Do not allow the harvested seed to dry out, since this can damage its viability. Store the seed submerged in water in a very cool place; replace the water occasionally. Plant as soon as possible for best germination.

Wild rice
At this point of time the only comment I can make about my purchase is the excellent service from Everwilde. The order was received in a surprising short time. Here in N.C. we have had a drought this summer. My duck impoundment is almost dry which depends on rain fall. The seeds are Currently hiibernating in my refrigerator as instructed.

The shipping was very prompt and the seed appeared to be in very good condition. Can't wait to see it start growing.

Rice Seed
Very satisfied with the seed.
Well packaged seed
I just planted the wild rice seed and the seed looks good and was well packaged. Obviously I can't attest to its viability until it germinates but all signs look good so far. Trialing an experiment in a kiddie pool. Fast shipping as well.

Seed purchase
Great seeds. Great service
Well preserved
Wonderfully packaged moist viable seed
Definitely fresh viable seed!
Upon receipt, seed was moist...and even had 3 seeds sprouting in the package due to the 3 days transit in the mail. Can't wait to see what the final product turns out to be!
The true one
It is clear that these seeds are the best if you cannot find any wild rice on your territory. They clearly seal the seed right after harvesting them and they are all very viable!
Carefull because there dormancy may be already be broken from sleep when they arrivr to you! It is a while since they are fridge and they smell the fresh air of where they come from.
There are alot of scam online for wild rice seeds. These ones are the real ones you want to plant. They are not cut, pure and ready for sowing.
Nothing recieved
