Re: Adonis pyranaica

Karen,

Perennial species of Adonis, including A.pyrenaica, are notoriously poor 
germinators.  The reference I use most for seed germination is Norman 
Deno's SEED GERMINATION: THEORY AND PRACTICE, and he characterised the 
problem as largely due to empty [dead-on-arrival] seeds.  Deno reports 
germination [at less than 5%] for the related A.vernalis at cool 
temperatures.  If your seed is viable, it should be sown outdoors now, or 
sown and held indoors for a few weeks, then put outdoors.
