Why do some seeds need to be put into a freezer before germination?
because the require a cold period (near freezing) to "break" the seed's dormancy. the process of putting the seed (or sometimes bulbs) in a fridge mirrors the over-wintering conditions that normally occur during winter. this is used to sometimes fool plants into believing that they should start to initiate germination (or sprouting), and is a mechanism used to produce these plants out of season. the process is also used in the seed production industry, where seed for the northern hemispheres summer season may be grown in the southern hemisphere, they then chill the seed to "fool" it into believing it is the new growing season before shipping it to the northern hemisphere.
