It is recommended to sown as soon as it is ripe in a warm greenhouse at not less than 24°c. It usually takes 3 – 6 months at 25°c for germination. If you store seeds it will be very slow to germinate. Make sure to soak the seed for 24 hours in warm water prior to sowing. This may shorten the germination time.
Plants form a long tap-root sometime before forming a shoot so it is best to sow 2 – 3 seeds per deep pot. Grow the seedlings in the greenhouse for at least their first three winters.
It is best to plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
