This source reports two treatments. Both are shown.
Protocol 1
DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993Difficulty Moderate
Start around January 11, 2027 for a May 3 last frost.
Cold moist stratification
Temperature: 40°F 4°C
48%, at 10-12 weeks -- it germinates in the cold.
Warm moist stratification
Temperature: 70°F 21°C
A further 36%, over 2-16 days.
No stated waiting before sowing. Then 84 days to germinate.
48% germination in 70–84 days.
Nearly half comes up in the cold itself, and a third more again after the move.
This source doesn't state how long.
Protocol 2
DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993Sow and cover
Temperature: 70°F 21°C
Nothing.
No stated waiting before sowing.
0% germination.
Nothing at all. Deno's rule for the genus holds here: sowing at 40 beats sowing at 70.
