Sow seeds directly outdoors in fall or spring. If starting indoors, cold stratify seeds for 3-4 months, then plant 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Plant them shallowly, as light aids germination. Transplant seedlings after frost, and be patient—the first-year growth is slow. Germination in 14-28 days.
