Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost and just cover with a sprinkling of soil. Keep moist. Can be sown indoors at any time. Mix seed with some damp vermiculite and place in a plastic bag. Place somewhere warm for 3 weeks then cold stratify. Move to the fridge, ideal temp. 4-6°C for 8 weeks.
