Germination:

Seed packets are labeled with seed name and sowing details.
Seeds have not been pretreated unless specified in the listing.
Seed is not a specific Cultivar (Variety) unless specified in the listing.
Due to the many factors involved in successful germination, Seller cannot be responsible for buyers growing methods or mistakes.
I have provided what I believe to be a good overview on this page (which you are free to print for further reference), however, it is still recommended to check specialist literature for more details and practices specific to your climate and soil conditions to avoid mistakes in the germination and growing process.
