Topsfield, Ma.

Up to a week has been my experience. They seem to germ more readily in soil than in paper towels...just my findings.
I file them lightly like AG seeds and pre soak anywhere from 4-8 hrs. Good luck, Duff.

Ooops...checked some notes...some have taken up to two weeks to germ!

i will find out AGAIN in a few days,
but i do believe that with the right temperature of seed-starting mix, (87-92 degrees F) they could possibly take as little as
4-5 days, with proper filing/notching/snipping-away of the seed coat. do some practice ones before the "real" ones, though.
