I just received several packets of Allium seed from one of the exchanges and I am seeking seed germination advice. My main question is do these require cold, cool, warm or fluctuating outdoor conditions to germinate? or an i grow in pots in a cool 55F basement? Allium beesianum hopefully- China, blooms in August Allium callimishon- Crete, blooms in fall Allium platycaule- western American sounds like cold is needed Allium victoralis- bloom in June Thank you Rimmer de Vries SE Michigan USDA Zone 5
