| I just collected some bottlebrush buckeye seeds. I know they need to be planted immediately and I'm going to start them in pots but do they need a chilling period? Should I leave the pots outside over the winter or does it matter? |

| Plants for a Future Database: Aesculus parviflora - Seed - best sown outdoors or in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe. The seed germinates almost immediately and must be given protection from severe weather. The seed has a very limited viability and must not be allowed to dry out. Stored seed should be soaked for 24 hours prior to sowing and even after this may still not be viable. It is best to sow the seed with its 'scar' downwards. If sowing the seed in a cold frame, pot up the seedlings in early spring and plant them out into their permanent positions in summer. |

| Thank you. I guess I'll keep the pots in the unheated GH. It's not warm but remains above freezing. |
