I have allium (the flowering bulb) and collected seeds. Has anyone planted allium seeds successfully . . . what method did you use? Stratification? Fresh?

I don't have an answer for you but you might want to try the winter sowing or saving seed forums. Hope this helps.

Allium seeds should be both fresh, and stratified. The seed should be sown the same year it's collected because the germination rate diminishes quickly.

Winter sowing them is a good idea or you can stratify them in your fridge for a few weeks. Lots of the alliums will re-seed on their own if you leave the seed heads on the plants.
