Soak the seeds in water for 24 hours and sow them about 1 cm deep in the substrate or put them in a zip-loc bag (which contains a little sand that must be constantly moist) and place them in the refrigerator for 4-12 weeks. After that period, the seeds are sown in a container and covered with about 0.5-1 cm of purchased soil – it is necessary to maintain moderate soil moisture. Germinates very easily and quickly. Can be sown directly in the garden in autumn without stratification.
