Hardiness zones: 5-9

Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a short time.
Germination: It is very important to Soak the seeds for 24 hours before planting. Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 120 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 C, 68-72 F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 60-120 days after the warming period, though it can vary.
