Title: Is It Too Late To Germinate Illama Seeds?
Post by: Mugenia on October 16, 2017, 01:33:51 AM: So, I bought some illama seeds from Raul Ruiz. I am wondering if it is too late to germinate seeds? I bought GA-3 acid to help with germination too. I am having my dad to germinate these seeds. If it's too late to germinate, can I store them over the winter? I am from Southern California.

probably never will
