Any tricks needed to get it started from seed?
I put the seeds in wet paper towel in a plastic (unsealed) bag in the fridge for two months during the winter, then pull them out and wait for them to sprout and plant them in trays to grow them indoors under a light.
I've never had them self-seed. Next year, I may stick some in my stratification box and see if that works, because I hate growing things indoors.
