Please read both the seed guide and the plant specific sowing instructions. If you are unsure of the best way to germinate the seeds, DO NOT SOW ALL THE SEEDS. Keep some in case the germination method you use doesn’t work.
Cold stratify ALL perennials, shrub & tree seeds for at least 30 days unless the plant specific instructions indicate a longer period.
If you are not ready to plant the seeds, keep it in the refrigerator (not freezer).

Plant Specific Instructions (Read “Seed Guide” as well): Soak in water. Rinse 3x. Repeat the process daily for 7 days. Cold stratify for 90 days. Requires light to germinate. Can also be sown in a cold frame. Germinates in approximately 2-3 months or longer at 50 F (10 C). When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them in light shade in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Most seedlings are subject to damping off so they must be kept well ventilated. Read the Shrub/Vine Seed Guide.
