Germination
Styrax japonica (Japanese Snowdrop Tree) seeds
These are relatively large seeds that can be planted under 15mm of covering. The planted seeds need to be kept at room temperature for two months, then kept cool (10-12°C) for two-three months, and then warmed up again. They can sometimes take a year to germinate so keeping the pot outside in the shade is recommended.
