Seed Handling Instructions:

Seeds require stratification. Soak them for approximately 24 hours, then mix them with sand or peat and store at a temperature below 6°C (41°F) for several months.

In spring, sow the seeds in containers with well-drained soil.

Keep the soil moist and provide the plant with a sunny or partially shaded location.

Once the seedlings have rooted and the first leaves have appeared, transplant them to larger containers.
