Wild Tulip

Sowing method: First, place in a warm, moist spot for 6-8 weeks (the seed will swell), then put the seed tray in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks. An hour of frost is beneficial (this activates the germination hormones); sometimes the seeds will germinate while in the refrigerator. Afterwards, move to a warmer spot, but no warmer than 10°C. If germination does not occur, repeat the cycle. Outdoor sowing is also possible, provided that summer and winter offer suitable conditions. If, for example, the winter is too mild, it will take an extra year.
