Scatter it on the surface of moist compost and press down — do not bury it. Keep it damp and shaded until it germinates, which can take two to three weeks. Patience at this stage is the whole trick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning sun and afternoon shade in the plains.
