Eugene in Atlanta asked, >Jane -- did you do anything special to get the seeds to germinate? No, I planted them probably in January in the ordinary way, just leaving them out on my deck, which is roofed but not enclosed. Sometimes when you plant crocus seeds later in the year, rather than in fall, they germinate in early summer instead of winter, or even the following year, but I didn;t record whether this happened in this case.
