For optimal germination, plant the seeds in seed-starting mix in containers and keep moist but now waterlogged. Check soil moisture regularly and provide indirect light until germination, in cooler areas this may have to be in a seedling house where humid.


Once seedlings reach 5-10cm tall, transplant them into small pots. As spring approaches, harden the plants for outdoor growth by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions.
