Michael,
This is what has worked for me, and seems to be standard procedure:
Sow the seeds on your medium(I prefer milled sphagnum) and dust or spary
with fungicide. Put the pots, covered in the fridge(or garage if you can keep
them from freezing) to stratify. I cover my pots with saran wrap to protect
them. The time to leave them in the fridge seems to vary from account to
account, but eight to twelve weeks should be good. Then you can introduce
them to light. You could try artificial lights until it's warmer weather, if
you plan on putting them outside.
I hope this helps.
Regards,

much that I can find. I recently received about 150 seeds from various

this is the recommended time, however, in NJ, the weather is often to cold
to
make anything grow that time of year. Do any of you with more experience
than I do have an easy and successful method for germinating these seeds. I
am not sure how much light they should be provided or where they should be
kept. Thank you. Michael >>
