Anemone (Ranunculaceae). This genus divides into two groups. The .first group are early spring bloomers with hairless seed coats, multicycle germination patterns, and intolerance of OS. The second group are taller and bloom in summer and fall, the seed is embedded in cotton in a spherical cluster, and germination is largely D-70 with curious differences between DS seed and fresh seed. A. baicalensis germ. 70(77% in 2-5 w) and 40(46% in 4-12 w)-70.

Protocol 2

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Moderate Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around January 11, 2027 for a May 3 last frost.

  1. Cold moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 40°F 4°C

  2. Warm moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

Steps after step 1 run on after germination.

Germination happens during step 1, in 84 days.

46% germination in 28–84 days.
