Dark Mullein

Sowing method: April-July. Seeds germinate quickly; keep uniformly moist (not wet) at ± 20°C. Cover seeds thinly; fine seeds should not be covered but lightly pressed. Place a box or dark cloth over them, as they are not light germinators. Immediately after emergence, place in a bright and cooler spot.
