| Comments: |
One sample of seed was hot water treated and germinated promptly. A second batch from a different seed lot was hot water treated and it only germinated at a low rate. A sample of non germinated seed was removed and mechanically clipped to expose endosperm inside. These seeds germinated at once at a high rate. Seed coat thickness varies from seed lot to seed lot. White flowers with yellow blotch. Yellow blotch changes to red. Fragrant flowers. |
| Germination info: |
Hot water treat seed and sow in Spring. Sow the seeds that swell and sink. This may not be enough and you may wish to mechanically scarify or physically clip or file the seed coat (see below). |
