Germination:
To break dormancy, seeds need cold moist stratification. Mix the seed with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. To accomplish this naturally, direct sow unstratified seed on the surface of the soil in the fall for germination in the spring. To start the seed indoors, sow the stratified seed on the surface of the soil in a flat; keep the soil temperature between 70-75 degrees F with consistent moisture until germination. After the last spring frost, transplant the seedlings 15-18” apart in full sun and sandy or rocky soil.
