japanese anemone germination


Hello There,

A few years ago I tried germinating japanese anemone seeds &
failed totally.  I did pre-chill in my refrigerator as was suggested 
by the suppliers (T&M).  I used Levington compost, and kept the
compost for a year before giving up on it.  By that time some sort
of fungus was starting to appear on the surface of the compost.

I've just got another packet of these seeds (from Chiltern Seeds
this time).  The Chiltern seed package has a sticker on it advising
pre-chilling.  Can anyone offer any information/advice/comments?

One thing that might be relevant; the previous seed from T&M was
small & dark-coloured, looked rather like typical digitalis seed.
The Chiltern seed looks completely different -  the seed is very 
hairy & fluffy  - looks almost like cotton wool.  A surprising 
degree of difference in appearance.
