GROWING INSTRUCTIONS **Difficult
We highly recommend sowing these seeds naturally outdoors, late Summer for Spring germination OR in Spring for germination the following Spring. If sowing indoors...
SEED PRETREATMENT: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Mix seeds with moist soil. Place in a plastic bag or container.
STRATIFICATION: After soaking seeds, start 90 days warm/moist (15-20°C), check seeds periodically for signs of mold. Next,
60 days cold/moist (5°C), in your fridge is a good spot for this. Inspect seeds periodically for even moisture/sprouting.
POST-STRATIFICATION: Sow seeds on the soil surface, lightly cover and tamp down gently. Seeds require light to germinate. Ideal soil temperature of 15°C for germination.
GERMINATION: Seeds are naturally slow and erratic to germinate and will continue to sprout throughout the year.
