I know Lisa from Growild (

) grows this and has posted about the seed germinating, after being moist packed,in only a few weeks- so I think she'll be able to help you, Davey.

Hi, I'm presuming these have come from Chinese Alpines seeds? I've found these germinate readily with just warmth between 7 to 20 days. Hope that helps, Lisa

I have also germinated them twice. I just sow when I get the seeds in fall and place the pot in a cool place. Germination occur in early spring.
