You can also start these early in pots, or if sowing in mild zone, but you will need to cold treat them prior to sowing. When cold treating place your seeds in a baggies with a cup of peat or sand and add 1/4 cup of water. You want your medium moist but not soggy. Place in your fridge for 60 days checking half way through to see if you need to add a little more water.
