Name: greene Savannah, GA (Sunset 28) (Zone 8b) I have no use for internet bullies!
All I can remember is the seeds need stratification - 4 months of cold I think.
I will correct myself:
They should be placed in damp sphagnum moss and kept in a plastic bag or plastic container in the refrigerator for 3 -4 months. Then plant in good quality soil (a plastic bag tent to keep the humidity up) and you should have good luck.
[I still want to know what gardeners did before plastic was invented.]
[Or refrigerators!]
