Sowing instructions:

Soak seed in room temperature for 24 hours. Place soaked seeds in a small plastic bag or container filled with slightly moist sterilized peat moss or vermiculite that has been sprayed with a fungicide product. Place bag or container in the refrigerator for 2-3 months. Check seeds periodically as germination may occur while in the fridge. If this occurs, immediately move on to sow them 1/8 inch deep in good soil and place container in a room about 70 degrees. Keep soil mixture moist. After germination, grow seedlings in bright light, preferably under grow lights. Keep seedlings only 3-4 weeks inside unless you have a cool environment with bright light. Transplant to larger container outside or in a cold frame after this initial growth period
