They can even grow in muddy grounds with standing water. They thrive in full sun but will grow in partial shade as well. Fertilize in spring with a basic slow release fertilizer. Germination Procedure: Cold stratify seeds in the freezer for 2-3 months to simulate winter and thus break dormancy. Sow seeds in warm temperatures. The seed coating is hard so warm moisture is what will get them sprouting. Sow at 1/8th an inch deep. Keep seeds and soil moist throughout the germination phase: 3 months.
