Question

How long do the seeds need to be in the refrigerator before we can plant them?

Answer 1

Refrigerator chilling is best done at 37 to 40 degrees F for up to eight weeks, although one week is enough to stratify most seeds. Check the towel every two to three days for seeds starting to germinate. Plant those that are sprouted, like the seed in the inset photo above, then remoisten the paper towel.
