pelargonium species seeds


Diane,
Yes, they'll need scarifying.  
I've grown most of the section Ciconium from seed, sowing scarified seed
media-covered at 70-72F.  Good germination on all.  Section Ciconium
includes P. acetosum, acraeum, frutetorum, inquinans, peltatum (some
authors), tongaense, transvaalense, zonale.  Other than inquinans and
zonale (putative parents in domestication of P xhortorum), the best of the
rest is tonganense.  Great bedding and basket plant: always in bloom, loads
of flowers.  Whiteflies like it, though.
