hi Bernd.
Why are you looking for ‘fresh’ Cardiocrinum seeds? Dry seeds germinate very well, but over 2 years.
In the first warm season, the seed embryo develops inside the seed and the following warm season, it produces 1 or more leaves.
fresh seeds will be immature anyway.
if your sowing hasn't started this year, wait until next year.
i obtained seeds last year, ripe too late (november) to send them for the srgc exchange.
