Tips
Seeds are dormant and require specific conditions for germination. Do not discard seeds that do not germinate quickly; they may remain dormant until conditions match natural requirements. Surface sowing in late winter/early spring in a sunny greenhouse position is recommended. Keep substrate moist during germination.
