The one time that I grew Zephyranthes from seed leads me to question the
veracity of seed short viability claims.
----- From the NARGS seed ex, and seed harvested in 2011, I planted five
different lots on 21 April 2012.
Zz. citrina, dromondii, minima, primulina, rosea, Sunset Strain.  All
except the Sunset Strain had surprisingly good germination (50-90%), with
first emergence on 4-6 June.

Seed came from four different donors, and only citrina and Sunset Strain
had the same source.  I can't say how they were stored beforehand, but
when I received them sometime in late February/early March (second round
ordering), they were kept dry at about 60 F.

I'd love to hear what the real experts have to say......
