Germination of Phlox Pilosa L. Seeds is Improved by Gibberellic Acid and Light But Not Stratification, Potassium Nitrate, or Surface Deinfestation

The effects of warm stratification and cold stratification, gibberellin-3 (GA3) concentration, potassium nitrate concentration, light, and duration of surface sterilization on the germination of downy phlox (Phlox pilosa L.) seeds were studied. Germination after 21 days (G21), days to 50% germination (T 50), and number of days between 10% and 90% final germination (T90—T10) were calculated for each treatment.
