Germination Notes
Cool, moist conditions can support germination. Fall sowing outdoors is a simple method that provides natural winter exposure. For controlled spring sowing, a period of cold-moist stratification can improve germination consistency. Plants may self-seed where conditions are suitable.
Seeds will not germinate without stratification. Natural Stratification outside with freeze/thaw cycles is best, or use a refrigerator. If the fridge method doesn't work, you can use the outside method afterward, as long as the seeds didn't rot.
Cut and Dried Flower Use
You can cut flowering stems fresh, or dry mature papery seed pods for arrangements.
