In doing research after purchasing American Beauty Berry seeds (SE native understory shrub), it seems they need a cold period of 3-4 months before they will germinate. I planted some in a six pack in seed starting mixture, wetted down, stuck in a baggie and placed in the fridge. Now I'm thinking should I have put them in the damp seed starter medium? Maybe I should just put the seed into a baggie and stick in the fridge, THEN place in damp seed starter when I'm ready to put them out into the warmth for germination. Do you think they'll rot in the damp seed starter in the Fridge?

My thanks for your time and advice.

Mary
