Regards Keith I've never grown them, but have mostly read that they need sowing when fresh, so I would do it as soon as possible as they have a shortish shelf-life. The RHS Propagation guide suggests spring sowing, but because of the shelf-life problem, sooner rather than later must be better. Surface sow and keep them at about 25degC. I have heard that older seed can take months - even 12! - to germinate, so I hope you're patient. Good luck. Spider |

Spider Thanks for that , i was going to sow them due to the fact germination can take 1-12 months . I am hoping by summer they have germinated and can grow away ! Regards Keith |
