General Distribution: A. frigida is found from Siberia and Alaska south to Idaho and Arizona.
Propagation Goal: plants
Propagation Method: seed
ProductType: Container (plug)
Time To Grow: 0
Propagule Processing: Seeds exhibit physiological dormancy.

Germination occurs at 10 C. Germination was greater in light than dark.
In Sabo's study germination was equal in light and dark under 24/15C alternating temperature cycle.
