Spring & AutumnPlace in a warm sunny position and keep moist to avoid drying out.
Do not allow your growing medium to dry out whist germination is occuring.
Do not be too hasty to discard seeds that have not yet germinated, seeds will often lay dormant (in hibernation almost) until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination and sprouting to occur. Containers placed to one side & forgotten about will often surprise long after they were discarded.
