Seed Handling Instructions:

If sowing seeds in spring, they require stratification, which means mixing them with moist sand and storing them at a low temperature of approximately -3°C for about 3 months. If sowing in autumn, you can skip this step, as natural soil processes in winter will stratify them. After this process, place the seeds in light, well-drained soil to a depth of 0.5-2 cm and moisten the soil thoroughly.

SEEDS ARE INTENDED FOR SOWING ONLY!
