PlantLinks to other web pages about Oxytropis borealis var. viscida
- Seed from NARGS '11/'12 exchange. Scarified with sandpaper, baggy 70F (88%G, 4-13d). Additional scarification beyond the initial treatment was required to get all viable seeds to germinate
Some sources say this needs cold treatment, but all oxytropis species I've tried will germinate at room temperature after scarification.
