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. * much chaff and nonviable seed is typical; short viability; very poor germination; does not need chilling if seed is fresh
