Seeds stored at 4 {\textdegree}C lost most or all viability by 24 mo. We observed no significant difference in germination between the 2 seed moisture contents for each species. After 60 mo of subzero storage, germination of S. bebbiana seeds declined from 89 to 83\%, S. discolor from 60 to 54\%, and S. eriocephala from 71 to 54\%.}, issn = {1522-8339}, URL = {https://npj.uwpress.org/content/10/1/63}, eprint = {https://npj.uwpress.org/content/10/1/63.full.pdf}, journal = {Native Plants Journal} }
