You're welcome, Hubert. It isn't just Teas but modern HTs, floribundas, shrubs of similar breeding and any miniatures. Add species such as Xanthina, Hugonis, Primula, Fedtschenkoana, Minutifolia, Stellata mirifia, Spithamea, Arkansana, Californica, even Banksiae lutescens. Mixtures of them all germinate just as freely in this climate as I experienced when I held seeds in cold storage between harvest and planting in my old Zone 10 home. I had to hold them until about Thanksgiving (late November) as that was when temps historically should fall into the seventies F and there should have been chances of rain. Prior to that date, temps were frequently in the nineties to triple digits and it was very difficult to keep planted seeds properly watered. Here, the temperatures are usually in the appropriate range and watering is much less of an issue, so I stopped the cold storage and just keep them dry in small plastic bags until I have enough to fill my seed tables.
