What does DTM mean?

And yes, it can be found at many online seed sellers. Their seeds seem to need fairly warm (70 degrees?) temperatures to germinate, but once that soil temperature is reached, they germinate fairly easily and readily. The seed can be scattered on top of the soil and still germinate once it gets warm. Or you can start the seed in pots indoors with the use of a heating pad.
