GROWING TIPSThis species has the following hardiness: USDA Hardiness Zone 8. The plant tolerates low temperatures (-8° C), can tolerate occasional snow cover for up to a couple of weeks per year.
This species germinates relatively easy, and does not need any stratification. The germination starts after about 10 days. An important point to bear in mind is that it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, at least not during the germination phase. In one trial batch we have left the seeds in the sun for two days at about 25º C, and the seedlings died.
