Warm, cold, cool germinator. You can sow seeds when fresh, top the pot with grit to discourage algae/moss, leave outdoors for germination the following late winter or spring. Or try approx 71ºF for 4 weeks, move to 39ºF for 6 weeks, move to 50ish for germination

Thanks for the information

I'm bumping this thread, as I just acquired some pasque flower seeds.

Can I plant them now or wait? The ground is frozen, but I do have some garden soil to throw over them.

many thanks.

You really will have better germination with the pasque flower seeds if you provide a warm moist period to begin with.

Approximate temperatures and timing - 71F for 4 weeks, move to 39F for 6 weeks, move to 50ish for germination

many thanks :))
