How to sow:

Use a soil with excellent drainage. Standard potting soil will not work, and this can vastly effect the outcome of success. Press the seed lightly into the surface of your soil and wait. The seeds are best off sowed in the fall or early spring where they can experience normal temperature fluctuations. Otherwise, they should be cold stratified for 4 weeks prior to sowing outdoors. Once established, the plant is easy to care for in most cases. It likes damp, moist environments with good sun. But it will also tolerate shade.

****SEED STORING:

- Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location.

- Most seeds have a long shelf life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short.

- Dedicate a drawer or cabinet for storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning, and preparing.
