I shouldn't think so in your climate. Certainly C. saxifraga and the Symphyandra don't. I've sown both in mid summer from the seedlists and had them germinate well. I've only had C. zoysii seed once but even given that the seed is miniscule, I think there was only rubbish in the packet, and almost nothing of that!
