To obtain a more regular and faster germination stratify in cold the seeds for 30-60 days before the sowing.It is possible to use a sowing substrate for potting or soil from the garden together with a sowing substrate if the sowing is made directly into the garden. The substrate must be wet but not soggy until the germination is completed.
