I for the life of me have been unable to get seeds of this species to germinate. I put them outdoors for the cold weather but nothing. Of course the heavy wind driven rain a few weeks ago washing out many of my pots didn't help. I guess I'll have to wait until next winter to try again with my reserve seeds.
 
Thanks for the links. What a neat plant this is, and one I never had germination from like you sad to say.
 
NaN,

Have you tried giving them a hot dry summer first and then returning to tray the following winter? I have gotten great germination off of the closely related D. cistiflora this way.
