Alpenrose

Sowing method: Sow 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 slowly warm up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly in the ground is also possible; just let it experience winter, and germination will occur in spring.
