Linda, I have not observed any germination in freezing weather.  I 
used to plant my LA seeds in the fall and germination occurred during 
the following spring.

After being on Lairis awhile and listening to La pros, I find that 
most of them plant before the seeds dry out.  They also peel off the 
cork seed covering.  The seeds planted this way started germinating 
with cooler weather in September and October.  I have to bring the 
pots inside during very cold snaps.  A few of the taller ones show 
some cold stress, but with warmer weather, they will recover.
