Seed Treatment
• Cold stratify: Place seeds in a sealed bag with a moist paper towel and refrigerate for 7–10 days.
• Check weekly: ? If seedlings sprout in the fridge, gently remove and plant immediately.
• Do not cover seeds deeply when sowing—they need light to germinate.
Optimum Temperature
• Germination temperature: 65–70°F (18–21°C)
• Avoid hot conditions during germination.
Germination Time
• Usually 14–21 days, but allow up to 35 days in cooler or inconsistent conditions.
Sowing Instructions
• Sow indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
• Use seed trays or pots with well-draining soil.
• Press seeds gently into the surface—do not bury.
• Mist gently to moisten.
Light Requirements
• Full sun (at least 6 hours/day)
• Indoors: Provide strong grow light or place in a bright window.
Watering
• Keep soil consistently moist during germination but never soggy.
• Once established, water moderately—allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Post Germination Care
• Transplant when seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves.
• Harden off before planting outdoors.
• Space 12–18 inches apart in well-drained soil.
Bloom Info
• Unique green bell-shaped blooms with a soft fragrance.
