The seeds should be planted indoors as soon as possible, because they are though to lose viability quickly. The seeds need to go through a cycle of cool-warm-cool to induce germination. Sow 2mm deep in a mix of compost and peat, and water. Place the container in a cool, moist spot or inside a plastic bag in the refrigerator for 3-6 weeks. Then, move them to 13-18 degrees C for 3-6 weeks, then back to the fridge, then back to the warmth. If there’s no germination, go through the cycle again. Then, keep them as an indoor potted plant until you can plant them outdoors after the risk of frost in spring.
