Genus Anemone

This source reports two treatments. Both are shown.

Protocol 1

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Moderate Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around April 11, 2027 for a May 3 last frost. Too late for spring 2027 — that needed starting on April 10, 2026.

    Duration: 180 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

  2. Cold moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 40°F 4°C

  3. Warm moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

    20 germinated in this phase.

Steps after step 2 run on after germination.

about 9 months from start to sowing. Then 90 days to germinate.

78% germination in 90 days.

Anemone (Ranunculaceae). This genus divides into two groups. The .first group are early spring bloomers with hairless seed coats, multicycle germination patterns, and intolerance of OS. The second group are taller and bloom in summer and fall, the seed is embedded in cotton in a spherical cluster, and germination is largely D-70 with curious differences between DS seed and fresh seed. A. cylindrica seed must be DS 6 m at either 70 or 40 after which germination is 100% over 3 m when sown at 70. If fresh seed is sown at 70, germination is zero. Curiously the difference between DS and fresh seed is not so great when the seed is sown at 40. The patterns were 40(78% over 3 m)-70(20% over one rn) for DS seed and 40-70(76% over 3 m) for fresh seed.
