I'm new to seeds as well. A Dger's has suggested that with dried up seeds, we need to soak them in water to soften the cork-capsules, once it is softened. We need to peel the cork off before sowing. Sow them at a depth 1/3" keep the soil medium moist, at a warm temperature 75+ degree F. They should sprout within 10 days or so.
I peeled one and sowed it a few days a go. I'll keep a watch and see what/how it responds. Keep touch, patience pays off at the end.

p.s. with fresh seeds, it is said that we can sow the whole seed structure without the above treatment. But from what I've seen. The cord material that encapsulates the seed dried up pretty fast in room temp.
