Cultivation:
For maximum freshness, please keep seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant. Sow seeds in a container in a cold frame and maintain light even moisture for up to 18 months. Gibberellic acid treatment will enhance germination rates. Allow exposure to the cold, but protect from temperatures below -5°C. Grow on in any good garden soil in full sun. Offer protection from drying winter winds or extreme dry conditions in the summer.
