sowing androcymbium seeds

[Carolyn]

I am pleased to report that androcymbium striatum has produced a few seeds in my crevice garden, despite our wet summer. Not enough for the seedex this year, unfortunately, but my question is - what now? Are the seeds best planted fresh, to experience (relative)warmth - cold - warmth? Or do I wait till spring?

I would plant them right now and I think they will germinate this autumn.

Thanks, Stefan, I think I will sow them now. Androcymbium are related to colchicum, so I have been reading, and I expect the seeds are therefore best sown fresh. I will let you know if they germinate this autumn!
