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. * seed very poisonous, wash hands after handling ,20°C x 4 weeks, then -7°C x 6 weeks, then 10°C,
