For those seeds marked "needs cold to germinate", sow immediately and if they do not germinate, overwinter outdoors and they should germinate in spring (a sensible strategy for most plants). Or else soak seed overnight, mix with damp vermiculite, put in covered jar and keep at room temperature for one month, then in fridge for 6 weeks, then sow as usual.
