Hi, I just got a batch of Avalanche Lily seeds. These N.American natives are particularly delicate. I'm wondering if any in the forum has tried to grow them from seed. ( I know they are Erythronium not Lillium, but lilies after all.). Its begining of spring here and I have a cool greenhouse , with a heated sowing bench with an extra cover ( Like a large propagator) so I could keep the seeds warm now . Would they cold stratification? Some suggest ( i.e. Ian Young from SRGS.) that they do not improve with cold and in fact it could be the cause for embryo death. E. montanum grows in fairly cold areas of the Rockies so that doesn`t make sense to me. Thanks in advance. Arturo
