Sowing & Growing
The seed is best stratified prior to sowing unless sown directly outside in early winter, this breaks the seeds dormancy. A period of 4-6 weeks in a standard fridge prior is sufficient. In addition nicking the seed case prior to sowing helps promote germination. If sown in trays, start from mid-winter onwards sowing on well-drained soil based medium at 4-5mm depth. Maximum germination is achieved by providing distinct fluctuations in temperature (55 to 70F) simulating day night temperatures outdoors. Germination should take 2-3 weeks for pre-stratified seed. Once young plants are established, plant out in a fully sunny location. A nutrient rich soil is best which does not get heavily waterlogged over-winter
