Grow notes:
Seed viability 68%
Cold stratification is optional.
Cold treatment may not be critical for germination to occur in colder regions but should give increased germination rates.
This can be replicated by cold stratification in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. Alternatively wintering in the garden in cold climates will assist germination.
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to avoid excessive root disturbance.
