The germination rate of fresh seeds is very high, so we must pay attention to the freshness of seeds when selecting seeds. The seeds basically cannot germinate after being stored for six months.

(2) sowing time: in spring and autumn every year, the temperature in these two seasons is relatively warm, which is suitable for seed germination and emergence.

(3) sowing: sow the seeds evenly into the soil, then cover the soil and keep warm. Under normal management, seedlings can emerge in 8-12 days, and the seedlings can be transplanted and planted after growing for about one and a half months.
