...very easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
Out of 30 seeds that were very fresh 26 germinated within 2 months of sowing in moist peat at constant 34d.C. Germination started on 4th week and was totally completed by 2 month. Seedlings are very sensitive to damping off, so be careful with them.
