Germination: according to the Frits experts the best time to sow Fritillaria sp. is in the fall: Aug-mid Sept. to mid October. Seeds received later are better kept in the fridge and sowed in next fall. You can also stratified the seeds in moist vermiculite in the fridge 2-3 months for the cold/moist stratification, it works well.
