Sowing Stenanthium gramineum

[WimB]

Does anyone here have any experience with this plant? A friend of mine sowed some a couple of years back but they don't seem to be willing to germinate.
Do they need some special treatment for sowing?

I sowed seed (from JJA-seedlist) in December 2007. The pots were left outside in a cold frame during winter and most of the seeds germinated the following spring.   The seedlings grow slowly and are still quite small.

So, fresh seed and stratification... thanks for letting me know.
