Seed is fairly easy to germinate. Scarify it with sandpaper before sowing, and
it should germinate within a week or two. You can also soak the seed in
warm water overnight to start the process. Otherwise, sow it outdoors between
November and January for good results.
The following seeding rates should deposit about 10 seeds per square foot:
200 seeds per packet
1,500 seeds per ounce
1 ounce per 150 square feet
18 pounds per acre
