Germination Information
Pre-treatment: Seeds are placed in cold moist stratification for 84 days. Seeds are damp stratified by mixing it with equal amounts of vermiculite and lightly dampening in a plastic bag or container. Store this seed for 3-4 months in a cold room of 34-36 degrees F.
Establishment: This is a cool season perennial which germinates and dies early in the season, making its lifecycle different from the other warm season forbs. This allows for a second season of growth in just one season.
