Newbie questions/germinating dracunculus seeds

From: "Jaime Rodriguez" <jaime at matnet.com> on 1997.09.23 at 14:19:08(1311)
Hi everyone,
I just received seeds for Dracunculus canariensis from Fausto, and would
like some information on culture. None of my reference books list d.
canariensis. How hardy/tender is it? What kind of soil do they prefer?
How long will it take for them to germinate? Should I sow them now? Do
they need a cold stratification? My only experience with dracunculus is
looking at photos of d. vulgare in catalogs. Thanks.
Jaime Rodriguez
