In response ot a couple different postings: a) A. sikokianum doesn't
need any prechilling to germinate; fresh seed (as other poeple have
said) seems to germinate within 4 weeks at c. 70F (20C); b) I don't
know about A. sikokianum, but A. candidissimum certainly seems to
pull itself downward, at least in pots (where I can observe it easily).
When I emptied out my crop of same for winter storage last year, I
kept thinking to myself "I *know* I didn't plant them *this* deep".
But what puzzles me is how, in normally dense soil (as opposed to
an artificial mix, which is fairly loose), they do this.  Anyone
know?

Why buy plants when you can grow them yourself.....?
