ORGHPS Germination Guide: Sow immediately, Either the viability of these seeds is short or the species propagates best with fresh seed. Stored seed might be coaxed into germination with temperature cycling and patience. Sow @ 4°C for 3 weeks, then place at 20°C. Germination is improved by using GA3. * sow in sand, low germination rate
