Germination Notes for Growers
Preparation: Cold stratification for 30–60 days may improve germination rates.
Sowing: Sow seeds on the surface of a well-draining seed mix and press lightly; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination.
Optimum Temperature: 60–70°F (16–21°C).
Germination Period: Typically 14–30 days after stratification.
Notes: Keep soil evenly moist during germination. Allow seedlings to dry slightly between waterings once established to prevent damping-off.
