Hello Dan,
I've never germinated my seeds (successfully). I've been hoping someone
more knowledgeable would have answered, but I'll give it a shot!
The calla lily (Zantedeschia) seeds should not be dried. Using gloves,
remove the fruity part of the seed to expose the inner seed. The pulp can
be irritating.... A person I know who germinated successfully put the seeds
in a moist paper towel and put into a ziploc bag until the seeds germinated.
I hope this helps! I don't know about the rest period- I don't think they
need that.
Susan

Can anyone tell me ,
When are my calla liliy seeds ready to be planted, do they turn brown or
what?
Will hybrid seeds sprout at all?
If they will sprout, how do I plant them, do they need one of those
refirigeration rest periods?
These are millinium gold seeds which the bees were kind enough to pollinate
for me.
Thanks Dan
