The seeds are in limited supply!
Type: Shrub
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Location: Shade or part shade
Height: 3-6'
Seeds per pack: 6
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Soak the seeds for 16-24 hours before planting. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 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 within 60 days after the warming period, though they could take a few months.
