Abstract: In order to provide scientific basis for seed propagation techniques of wild herbaceous flowers, the internal and environmental factors of wild herbaceous flowers’seed germination were summarized. The internal causes included after-ripening, the mechanical obstruction from seed coat, germination inhibitor and so on. Environmental factors mainly included the effects of temperature, light and water. The paper introduced main methods to promote seed germination of wild herbaceous flowers, which included mechanical treatment for seed coat, acid, seed soaking with water, stratification, gibberellins or combined treatments of the above factors. Besides treatment with acid, other methods probably were regarded as the more practicable ways to promote seed germination for commercial production.
