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