These appear to need going in the fridge for 3 weeks is that right?
i was looking at alpina.
no luck with my blue poppies so i am a bit reluctant
to go with the fridge idea.

Got this from RHS book:

Sow seed in containers in a cold frame as soon as ripe, or in spring. Seed
of the alpine species may take 2 years to germinate.

HTH.
