Seed Germination Instructions
60-90 days of cold-moist stratification is recommended. Sow seeds outside in fall to late winter and let nature do the stratification naturally outside, if you have cold enough winters. If you live in an area with mild winters, you may need to provide the cold-moist stratification artificially. For more information please read through the information in our Seed Germination and Propagation Reference Guide.
