We collected some Allium siskiyouense seed in southern Oregon last July. On the basis that Alliums are bulbs I duly planted the seed a month ago along with the rest of the bulb seed. Well, four weeks later, I am surprised to see a pot full of seedlings that, I assume, will require tender loving care over the winter. Is this rapid germination (with no stratification) common with all Allium seed? Would it have been better to plant them in January or would there have been lower germination in the Spring?
