GROWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Sow seeds 1/8"-1/4" deep in small pots or flats with moistened seed-starting mix. Spritz with water to settle into soil. Place in refrigerator or cold-frame for a 21-day cold stratification period.
2. Then place in warm indirect sunlight and keep soil moist. Germination will occur in 7-14 days, but can take longer to break dormancy.
3. Resize into bigger pots as needed. Transplant 4” tall seedlings 12” apart in their permanent location after last frost. Protect young plants during the first few winters.
*** Plants have long roots, so make sure they have plenty of room to spread.
*** Harvest in the fall, 2 years after planting.
Germination: 85%
