Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray. First, provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22° C), then a cold period in the refrigerator (+4° C) for 4-6 weeks, after which gradually warm it up to room temperature. Germination will then follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer period. Therefore, do not discard the seedlings too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; just let it overwinter, and germination will occur in the spring.
