Re: New England Wild Flower Society Seed Catalog 2004

Thanks so much. However, this brings up another question. The seeds spent this
long cold winter on the shrub, and I just now harvested them. I presume this
means they have been sufficiently stratified already and don't need to spend
three months in the fridge? Or do they need to be in soil during stratification?
