Culture Notes: Sunlight -Full/Part Shade Days to Germination-7-21 Planting Depth-Surface sow as light is needed for Germination-gently press seeds into pre-moistened seedling mix to just make contact with media. Next, cover seed tray with transparent cover and lift once per day to give seedling mix very light spray if seedling mix is dry on surface. Spray very lightly because seeds will wash through seedling media otherwise. Once you notice seeds have sprouted, remove lid as seedlings will need aeration to avoid damping off.
