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): Read the Seed Guide for Vines. Rub the seeds between a sheet of sandpaper to scarify then soak it in warm water for 24-48 hours just before planting. Sow seeds about an inch deep (25 mm) in moist, sterile soil. Consistent, bottom heat at 70-80 F (21-26 C) is IMPORTANT. Cool soils will significantly delay germination time or inhibit germination. Under optimal conditions, seeds should sprout anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months.
