Growing Guide

Step 1: Cold stratify seeds for 8–12 weeks in a moist medium before sowing, or sow outdoors in autumn for natural winter stratification.
Step 2: Sow seeds on the surface or cover very lightly with fine seed-starting mix, keeping the medium evenly moist throughout germination.
Step 3: Grow seedlings in a cool, shaded location with consistently moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil.
Step 4: Protect young plants from hot afternoon sun and drought, allowing them to establish slowly into long-lived woodland perennials.
