Suggest a correction or add new data!
Start at 4°C for 3 months, then warm to 20°C for another 3 months.
Requires Light or Surface Sowing: These seeds need light to germinate and should not be covered with soil or only very lightly. They are often very small and sown directly on the surface of the growing medium.
