Comments: Seed will benefit from a short cold moist stratification to increase speed, uniformity and % of germination. Dormancy varies between seed lots. Germination will improve with alternating temperatures of approx. 8 hours @ 86 deg. F and 16 hours @ 68 deg. Many growers use a fungicide during stratification. Other sterilization methods you can use include a 12 hour hydrogen-peroxide soak; surface sterilization with a 1:10 bleach:water mix, soaking the seed for 8 minutes then thoroughly washing off the bleach with warm water; a short diluted iodine soak.
Germination info: Seed requires 0-30 days cold moist stratification
