If starting inside: Fill a small container with growing medium, dampen the growing medium, sow tiny seeds on surface, place in a freezer bag, keep moist, then stratify by refrigeration for three weeks, then remove container from fridge and place in an area of warmth and bright light.
Germination time: two to three weeks in the light. Temperature needs to be 60 degrees or warmer. Start this process sfoeven or eight weeks in advance. Transplant outdoors following the last frost.
