Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds directly at 4°C.
Germination Successful Only with GA3: for these seeds, the use of Gibberellic Acid is not just beneficial but essential for germination to occur.
store in moist sand in shade; check every spring; sow as soon as radicles appear
