GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Soak seeds in hot water and let stand in water for 24 hours. Seeds that float will be viable. Next, cold stratify seeds for 60-120 days. The longer the stratification, the greater the odds of breaking the dormancy. After the seed prep, sow the seeds 1/4" deep and tamp down. Full sun. Keep moist, but not saturated.
