The question first of all is when to do it. I got mine in the
spring and started germinating them right away ie put them in
little peat pots with lots of water in the trays. They just sat for
the longest while so eventually I put them outside in a very damp
bed but this didn't help either. Finally, i put sphagnum peat moss
under them (to give an acid environment) and they produced little
green sprouts. Next problem was how to overwinter them becasue
they were out side in zone 4/5 with freezing ?
