For spring sowing, place seeds in a damp substrate in the fridge for 60 days to lift dormancy. Monitor regularly and place in pots if germination begins, taking care not to cover the seeds too much, as this species prefers to germinate in the light. For autumn sowing, sow lightly in trays. Cover lightly with fine soil and leave outdoors throughout the winter.
