It is variable depending on soil medium and temperatures. A couple of months would be normal. Some have sped germination by removing the "papery" coating on the seeds before planting.

I provide detailed growing instructions.

Mike,
Mine from Victorian took about 2-3 months, about 50% germ rate if I recall.

Bottom heat, after 3-4 day soaking in water (changing it daily, adding a few drops of hydrogen peroxide 3% with each water change).
My bottom heat comes from a very warm concrete floor in basement beside the woodstove.
But a germinating mat would work just fine too.

Good quality seed.
The other 50% was my fault.

...now I'm wondering where the heck the baby Washies are... :?
