Subject: seed stratification?
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I bought seeds of the following from Alplains:

Arisaema japonicum
Arisaema urashima
Arisaema yamatense v. sugimotoi

Alan gives the following germination instructions -
cold strat for 8 weeks.

Has anyone germinated these without cold stratification or is it =required?

Thanks in advance, Lois Addison
