This is fresh seed and so should germinate rapidly. If after 3-4 weeks in warmth (above 10 degrees), there are no seedlings, place in cold (fridge) for 2-3 weeks before returning to warmer conditions., Alternatively place pot in the shelter outdoors and wait for spring. Soaking the seed in water overnight or up to a few days helps rehydrate the seed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Quote by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"11393007036920475746\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOlivier Filippi. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ortelgarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41689987088517,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9991\/5397\/files\/Screenshot2025-04-16at9.39.54AM.png?v=1744753217","url":"https:\/\/ortel.nz\/products\/eryngium-amethystine-seed","provider":"ortelgarden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
