We highly recommend sowing these seeds naturally, outdoors in the Summer. If sowing indoors...

SEED PRETREATMENT: Soak seeds in water for 24 hours. Mix seeds with a moistened grow medium 4x seed volume. Place in a plastic bag, covered tray/cells 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: Will generally occur in 30-60 days.
