Has anyone grown fritillaria persica from seed? The bulbs are a little expensive, and my climate isn't generally the best suited for growing them. But I planted some to discourage chipmunks and groundhogs from digging around the foundation and in my raised beds. The ones on the south side of the house did extremely well, and produced quite a lot of seed. The only resource I could find was for fritillaria Japonica, and it said that seed was best sown as soon as possible, as it didn't stay viable for long. But then it went on to say that it needed cold stratification to germinate! So damp paper towel or vermiculite in the fridge???? All suggestions welcome!
