Germination instructions: The seeds need sunlight to germinate. They also germinate when soil temperatures are between 65-70 degrees. Likewise, if starting the seeds during the summer heat months, germinate by placing the seeds gently on top of the soil in a starter tray indoors under temperature-controlled conditions. Don't bury them under the soil into darkness but do keep the seeds and soil moist. Under these conditions, they germinate fairly quickly (within 14 days).
