I have sawn the seeds in my greenhouse, in pots with potting soil, and after three weeks (temperatures of about
30°C), almost all the seeds had germinated. The seedlings are very strong and tolerate transplanting very
well.

Extremely easy to germinate. Seeds were soaked for 24 hours ad then placed in a zip lock bag with slightly damp
peat. The bag was placed in the airing cupboard (For non-UK people this is the room that holds the house hot
water tank). Within 10 days most of the seeds had germinated and had roots up to an inch long.

Soaked seeds for a day, then placed in ziploc bag with peat moss. Germination started in 10 days and all seeds
had sprouted within 3 weeks. 100% germination rate. I would highly recommend taking the young sprouts out of
the bag after a few days, as it doesn't take long for them to rot. I lost several plants from this. Next time
I think I'll sow seeds directly into pots with regular potting soil.

I soaked the seeds in warm water for one day. They were then placed in a plastic bag for 2 weeks. I recieved
90% germination, 9 out of 10 seeds.
