...very easy to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
I bought 10 of these tiny seeds. Soaked in room temp tap water for 3 days. I half-filled a smallish ziploc bag with moist coco-peat and placed the bag behind my freezer. The first seed germinated after only 3 weeks and all nine ( I lost one somewhere ) had germinated within 2.5 months. 100% germination!

...difficult to germinate and need up to 3 months to sprout.
These seeds are very tough to germinate. Soak in water for at least 48 hour then refrigerate of 72 hours. Sow, and keep dry. Do not let it completly dry out. It requires very little water to germinate. Very touchy. Requires alot of patience.
