Cultivation method:

• Sowing in autumn (mid-September to mid-November) : This method allows dormant seeds to stratify naturally during the winter, promoting vigorous germination in the spring.
• Spring sowing (late March to early April) : An effective alternative to stratify seeds naturally with soil moisture.
• Soil preparation :
  1. Remove weeds manually or with an organic herbicide.
  2. Loosen the soil 2.5 cm with a rake or hoe to encourage germination.
  3. Sow evenly on the surface . Mixing the seeds with dry sand helps them spread.
  4. Let nature do its work : rain, snow and frost will gradually integrate the seeds into the soil.
  5. Water lightly during the first growing season if necessary.
