Seeds that need frost to germinate. Can they go in the freezer?
Hi,
I have some seeds "sea holley" it says on the packet that they need frost to help them germinate. Will putting them in the freezer for about 1 hour do the same job? Thanks |

Thanks Would rather the fridge .. maybe overnight .. rather than the freezer My "good book" says.....18 to 22 C for 3 weeks. then -4 to +4C for 4 to 6 weeks followed by 5 to 12 C for germination...(the fridge is a perfect place for the cold treatment) Many perennials require an intial warm period followed by a cold treatment prior to actual germination ...HW |
