Default Help with germinating Agretti (Monks Beard)

I can't seem to get Agretti (Monks beard) to germinate.
I have tried 2 different methods this year so far without any luck.
I tried peat pots in a propogator and planting into compost in seed trays in my greenhouse. Neither of them resulted in anything after 2 months.
Any help would be great.

The seed doesn't stay viable for very long (about 6 months I think, according to Real Seeds) - it may be that your batch has gone over. I would mention the problem to your seed supplier and they may be able to help.

Thanks for the info. The seed was bought about 3 months ago. I'll contact the company I got it from.
