Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22° C), then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4° C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; in that case, simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
