Default Sowing Ericaceae

I received seeds of Gaultheria's Epigea's Rhododendrons and Vaccinium

Hi Rene:
Many of the above will be warm (about 20C)-cold (about 0C)-warmer(about 10C)
germinators. They will require 2-6 weeks at each temperature. I prefer to sow
Ericaceae on milled sphagnum moss and coarse sand in equal proportions. The
pots should receive no direct sunlight. Keep moist.
Epigea repens is native here in New England, resents being disturbed and is
very slow to establish. It is well worth growing. Good luck.
