Hi all, I'm trying to germinate seeds of Osmorhiza claytonii and Phlox divaricata for a greenhouse experiment, and some of the reading I've done suggests they might benefit from periods of warm-moist stratification and cold-moist stratification.
I've been successful with cold-moist stratification with many species, but whenever I've attempted warm-moist stratification in the past, my seeds end up molding. Does anyone have any tips for successful warm-moist seed stratification and/or other suggestions for germinating these two species? Thanks!
