    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 40°F 4°C

  2. Warm moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

Clematis (Ranunculaceae). Light and/or GA-3 are required for the germination of some species. Although a number of species germ. significantly in the dark, light and GA-3 needs to be tried on all species. Multicycle patterns were common and some species germ. largely at 40. The seeds of all species are designed to be dispersed by wind so that it was presumed that DS would be tolerated. This was supported by the data for seeds DS 6 m, however seeds of C. hirsutissima is a 40-70 germinator and is unaffected by light. The meagre data were 40-70(2/3 in 8-11 w), 70-40(1/5 in 4th w), and 70L(1/7 in 10th w)-40- 70L(1/7).
