Growing Instructions:
1.  Keep seeds in a cool, dry location until ready to plant.
2.  Soak seeds in 70 degree water for 24 hours to increase rate of germination.
3.  Fill a seedling tray with pre-moistened seed-starting mix and sow seeds 1/4"-1/2" deep. Give the seeds a spritz with water to settle them into the soil. If you want to increase heat and moisture, cover with plastic wrap (poke a few holes in plastic) and remove wrap when seedlings emerge.
4.  Place in a warm (65-68 degrees F), well-lit area where seeds will receive a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Frequently check your seeds to make sure soil is damp, but not very wet or soggy.
5.  Germination will occur in about 10-14 days. Some seeds will sprout all at once; others may take longer to come out of dormancy. Be patient and don't discard your seeds prematurely!  :)
6.  Transfer to larger containers as needed and acclimate to direct sunlight gradually over the next few weeks.
Germination: 85%
