The seeds of most Allium species are what are called "Cold Germinators" or "Frost Germinators" For the seed to germinaet it needs a few weeks of warm moist conditions to take in water and oxygen. Then the seeds need a number of weeks of cold to break down chemicals in the seed that prevent germination. Once those chemicals are gone the seeds will germinate. The seeds have been stored at 34F, and some times some of the seeds will germinate during the warm period -- those seedlings should be removed before moving the rest of the seeds to the cold. The seeds should be sown onto a moist seed medium and left at room temperature for 4 weeks, after 4 weeks they should be moved to 25-39F for 6 weeks, were many of the seeds will germinate, after 6 weeks move to F 55 were the rest of the seeds will germinate in a few weeks.
