Aconite / Wolfsbane (Aconitum napellus) seeds

This plant is a cold-germinator. The sowing must be kept cold for a period of some weeks (e.g. refrigerator) or you sow them in very early spring or autumn. Mix the aconite seeds with damp sand in a plastic bag. The sowing must be kept warm (about 20°C / 64 to 72°F) and moist for the first 2-4 weeks. After this period place it in your refrigerator at a temperature of 5°C (between 25 and 39°F) for 5 to 6 weeks. After that take the bag out and keep it at room temperature. Check for sprouted seed regularly.
