Sowing method: April-June outdoors in finely raked soil. Rake in slightly and press down so the seeds are not covered. At temperatures above 20°C, germination decreases; during warm weather, mix the seeds with moist potting soil and place in the refrigerator for 1 week. Sow with the soil, germination will follow quickly!
