You can direct sow these in early winter by sowing on your garden bed surface and lightly dust with screened peat. Don't bury the seeds too deeply as they need light to germinate.

You can also start these in pots, or direct sow in spring, after cold treating the seeds. Mix your seeds with 1/8 cup of sand or screened peat and add 1 teaspoon of water so your mixture is moist but not soggy. Place in your refrigerator (not freezer) for 60 days. After 60 days let your mix dry out on the counter then and sow into pots. These need light to germinate so when sowing into pots sow the seeds on the surface of your potting mixture and lightly dust with sand or vermiculite. Transplant into your garden after your last frost.

If direct sowing in spring, after the cold treatment described above, sow on the surface and lightly dust with screened peat.
