These seeds need an alternating warm-cold-warm cycle to germinate. We recommend that you sow them outdoors in pots from May through June (warm period). They’ll germinate the following year, after a winter (cold period) and then spring (warm period). Germination starts as small bulblets underground - may take 2-3 years to produce leaves. This species is challenging to grow, and a great species for more experienced seed-sowers.
