Place seeds in a moist medium such as damp paper towel or peat moss, seal in a bag, and refrigerate for several weeks before sowing. Sow stratified seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix, cover lightly, and keep consistently moist at a moderate temperature. Provide bright light once seedlings emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransplant seedlings into larger pots as they grow, then move them to a sunny, well-drained garden location once established. Water regularly during the first seasons and mulch around the base to conserve moisture.
