    You did say "germination" but for what it's worth, according to Arthur Kruckeberg in "Gardening with Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest;" "After flowering... young offset clumps will have already formed to replace the old. The offsets can be used for propagation; seeds are a much slower source of new plants."

    Your best bet would be to sow them outdoors (winter sowing). They germinate sporadically. Seedlings seem to prefer the cool of outdoors. I lost a small batch growing under lights.
