I've grown two lots from seed now, and I soaked them for 3 days, then 
potted them (individually in peat, or 'Jiffy' pots) and grew them on a 
window sill (not very sunny) they consistently appeared after 6 weeks, 
with very high germination rates. I grew them in our spring. 
Ones I grew directly in the garden had very poor germination, with two 
coming up after a year from planting. I haven't grown them in ordinary 
pots, nor have I tried stratifying them, as I do with my TB seed, but 
see no need to.
Hope this helps, Jan Clark (Australia)
