This Packet  contains 5 seeds.

Seed should be filed  until you're through the hard, dark exterior skin. This lets the water into the seed. In other words you file 1-2mm off one or both ends of the seeds. Place the seeds in a glass of warm to hot water on a sunny windowsill. Usually the viable seed will sink but often floaters can also germinate so give them a chance. Change the water everyday especially if it goes cloudy. Warm water is best. The first leaves should emerge within a week.

 Care and propagation notes included.
