Germinates in 1 to 2 weeks
1)Sow outdoors in fall or spring. If sowing in spring, scarify the seeds and soak for 48 hours. To start indoors, scarify, soak, then refrigerate for 3 weeks. Slow to germinate. Full sun. Self-sows.
2)Propagation
Because it's natural habitat is typically harsh and dry the seed of this species has dormancy in it to prevent it from germinating in unfavorable conditions. Therefore a hot water soak of hottest tap water for 48 hours is needed to start the seed indoors. Then rinse the seed and sow into a container. Cover to depth. Transplant May to June or in the early fall. To sow out doors sow seed in the fall in the desired location. Cover with ½" of soil and a small stone (2½"), as mice really like this seed. Start with 3 seeds per hole.
