These will germinate rapidly; keep seed in constant moisture (not wet) with temperatures of about 68°F or warmer. Seeds must be covered thinly. Do not cover the very small seeds, but tightly press into the earth. Cover with a clear dome until sprouting action begins, or mist/water gently to keep from drying out.
