Seed handling instructions:

Seeds should be sown in autumn or early spring at a depth of approximately 0.5-1 cm in moist soil. For seeds to germinate, they must undergo a period of stratification, a cool, moist period in winter. This means that if sown in the fall, they will not germinate until the following year. If sown in spring, they must first undergo this period of stratification.
