They can tolerate maritime exposure, although growth is reduced. Seeds germinate in late winter or early spring,[59][60] but the life length is short. If kept moist, they can be stored in a cool place for a few months, but must be checked regularly for signs of germination.[60] Low temperature prolongs dormancy.[6] Sowing them as soon as ripe is better, either in cold frames or seedbeds outdoors
