I prefer to freeze the seeds from mid August to mid November and
then plant the seeds in pots on a mild November day and then sink the
pots in the ground.
As I write, I have five germinations in the pot of PINK BETTERMENT X
KANDI MOON, three in ZERZURA X TEL AVIV, a few scattered TB
germinations and one big surprise of five germinations in the JI
cross of ROYAL PAGEANT X SPRINGTIME SNOW. This is the earliest the
JI's have ever germinated.
You better believe that these will be coddled if we should have a
hard freeze.
