ORGHPS Germination Guide: Sow @ 4°C for 3 weeks, then place at 20°C. Germination is improved by using GA3. At one time, we advised "Tails may inhibit germination. Remove them." The advice applied primarily to pulsatillas and clematises. Our most recent data indicates that leaving the tails on has no effect on germination. * hard to germinate
