Seed germination within Abelia R. Br. spp. has been described as slow and inconsistent. An experiment was conducted with seeds of Abelia ×grandiflom (André) Rehd. (glossy abelia) to test procedures to increase germination percentage, uniformity and rate. The effect of pericarp removal was examined on seeds with no additional treatment, and on seeds that were stratified (moist-prechilled) for 60 days at 4C (39F) or immersed in 100 mg/liter gibberellic acid for 24 hr. Treatments were replicated five times with 15 seeds per replication. Seeds were sown on sphagnum peat, and germinated under mist in a greenhouse. Weekly germination counts were recorded for 8 weeks. Seeds with intact pericarps germinated at a significantly higher percentage than those without pericarps. Stratified seeds germinated in fewer days than the other treatments. The combination of stratified seeds with intact pericarps gave the best overall response, with final germination of 62% and a reduction in germination time to 14 days (to reach 90% final germination) as compared to 35 days for untreated seeds.
