Seed-starting details for this plant

Seed from '06 trade. Sandpapered, baggy 70F (8w; 50%G, 8d-7w). Several additional rounds of scarification were necessary to attain reasonable germination. Warmer conditions did not appear to aid germination
Same seed as above. Sandpapered, soaked 1d, baggy 70F (6%G, 5d)

Germinated seeds prone to rotting - found that placing seeds above soil, with only radicle in soil, gave better results.
