I don't know but, I'll watch this thread and see if you get any good info. i have had seeds potted up for 3 weeks now and nothing, and the seeds still seem good.

I'm not positive, but I think I remember them being large and kind of hard.

I would nick the surface and soak in plain old water for two or more day, or until the seeds swell slightly.

Then I'd sow the seed in good sterilized mix (in a clean pot in a freezer bag) as deep as they are big. Bottom heat is always good, try putting on top of your fridge or a heating vent, etc. Light will probably help germination.

Thanks!

No problem! Good luck!
