Difficulty Low Rated by us, not by the source.

  1. Dry storage

    Duration: 180 daysTemperature: 70°F 21°C

  2. Sow and cover

    Temperature: 70°F 21°C

about 6 months from start to sowing. Germination time not stated; 21 days assumed.

Deno gives no figures, only the pattern: dry storage, then germination at 70, like most of the daisy family.
