CONNIE/RICK,
Can you HELP me?
I got the seeds in the pic above and for the past 3 days I've been reading online on how to germinate them PROPERLY (= successfully) and I end up being even more confused!

OK, I will make it easy.
I got these:
1. vermiculite
2. perlite
3. sand (sifted)
4. potting mix (purchased)
Pots, containers, with/without homes, plastic bags, fridge/freezer (the seeds are frozen now in the freezer), warm-ish living room, coolish kitchen, balcony (a bit cold but not freezing unless I let the windows open).

From the info I got:
L. formosanum var pricei = IE
L. mackliniae = IE
L. regale = IE
L. pyrenaicum = DE

L. oxypetalum var insigne = IH
L. hansonii = DH
L. monadelphum = DH
L. jankae = maybe DH ???
L. pardalinum var shastense = H??? (I or D)

And I am also waiting for some
L. nepalense = IE

The only questions I have:
WHEN to sow these? (the E in late Feb and the H in late summer - should I keep the seeds frozen for half a year???)
What mix? Any mix from the above media would work?
Container vs plastic bags?
WHERE?

Any details from your experience with any of these would be much appreciated :)
CALIN
