Sowing advice for Alstroemeria

Sow in spring and autumn.  Sow into pots with about 3 seeds in each.  Cover with moist seed raising mix to about 5mm deep and cover with plastic to conserve moisture. Keep at about 20  deg C for 3 weeks.   After the 3 weeks, put into the fridge  for 3 weeks.  After  this bring seeds out of the fridge to 20 ° C . Remove the plastic once the first seeds germinate. They should germinate in about 2 weeks after removal from the fridge.  If no germination occurs after about 12 weeks repeat the above procedures.
