For optimal results, sow these seeds in the winter or early spring with a thin layer of sand or fine grit, and provide a cold spell to break their dormancy. Alternatively, they can be sown at any time and given cold treatment in the fridge if they do not sprout within 4 to 12 weeks. Keep the pot or tray safe as these seeds may take several months to appear. Consider growing grass seeds along with them for best results.
