Growing Guide

Step 1: Cold stratify seeds in moist medium at 34–41°F (1–5°C) for 6–8 weeks or sow outdoors in autumn for natural winter stratification.
Step 2: Sow seeds on the soil surface or cover very lightly, as light can improve germination.
Step 3: Keep the growing medium consistently moist and place containers in a cool, shaded location until seedlings emerge.
Step 4: Transplant young plants into humus-rich, well-drained soil in partial to full shade and water regularly during establishment.
