- Observation Fringed sage seeds germinated over a wide range of temperatures, with alternating 25/15 C being optimal.
- Association The range of optimal germination temperatures was higher for older seeds than for younger seeds.
- Observation The stimulating effect of light on germination varied among collections and incubating temperatures.
- Association Total germination and germination rate of fringed sage were limited by water stress.
- Intervention effect Seeds hydrated in autumn and exposed to low winter temperatures had higher spring germination than dry seeds exposed to the same conditions.
- Recommendation Sufficient soil moisture combined with moderate seedbed temperatures is optimal for fringed sage germination.
- Mechanism Periodicity of fringed sage germination may be influenced by variable germination requirements of differently aged seeds.
