If you grow them using the winter sowing technique or outdoor sowing in the fall, you do not need to pre-stratify the seeds as the outdoor temperatures will naturally fulfill that requirement. If you grow them indoors under lights, you’ll need to check with your seed supplier to ask if the seeds are pre-stratified. If they are not, you’ll need to keep them in the fridge for four weeks prior to planting them.

Did you have to stratify them first?

I didn’t see this mentioned or maybe I missed it. Having just seeded over 100 plus seeds, I know this works……If you crush the seed covering like cracking a peanut, you will find a perfect seed inside, that once exposed to a wet paper towel, will germinate in a couple days. It also weeds out the non viable seeds. I use a dental pick to help expose the seed and transfer to my soil.
