We are trying to germinate seeds of Spartina alterniflora, Juncus roemerianus, and Panicum virgatum that we hand-collected from the field in coastal Mississippi. We collected a lot of seed since the viability can sometimes be low for Spartina, and have been trying various techniques to promote germination (in greenhouse flats and in a growth chamber) but have had no success yet. If anyone has tips that may be of help, please contact me directly at lbattag...@plant.siu.edu<mailto:lbattag...@plant.siu.edu>. Thank you.
