Cultivation & Habitat

Sow stored seed as soon as possible in late winter or early spring, it requires 3 – 5 weeks cold stratification. The seed usually germinates in 1 – 6 months at 20¡c[133]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on for at least their first year in a lightly shaded place in a greenhouse. When large enough, plant them out into their permanent positions in the spring.
