They are a pretty plant and deserve a place in the garden.

They are a double-dormancy seed that requires a cold, moist period followed by a warm, moist period and another period of cold, moist.
So roughly 60 to 90 days of cold, moist; then a warm, moist period at about 80 F for 60-90 days; then back to the cold, moist...or you can just chuck the seeds at some soil in pots outside and leave them alone for 2 years and they'll germinate to the best of their ability.
