Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also called Devil's Shrub, is a slow growing woody perennial native to forest edges in China and Russia. It is not a true ginseng, although its roots and leaves have a long history of use in tea.
The seed can be slow and irregular to germinate, with some seedlings emerging in the second spring.

How to stratify seed
Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
