    What I'm talking about are the seeds that need to be sown now and forgot about until the spring when they start germinating.
    I recently received some seed from California that was collected at altitude. Sown today was;
    Lilium parvum (8050 ft)
    Lewisia nevadensis and triphylla (6750 ft)
    Calochortus superbus (2480 ft)
    Fritillaria micrantha (2275 ft)

    Also sown was;
    Fritillaria sewerzowii
    Allium christophii and karataviense
    Acis autumnalis
    Allium narcissifolium
    Potentilla pubescens

    What other seed benefits from this treatment?

      Where did you sow them longk? Is that direct into the ground, or in trays/propagator etc?
