If you are starting your seed indoors, plant the seeds about 1/4-inch deep in a pot with moistened potting soil amended with peat moss and sand, wrapped in a plastic bag in the back of a refrigerator for about 3 to 4 months. Gradually warm up the seeds by moving the pot to a cool garage or basement or taking it outside, periodically hardening off over 4 weeks as spring approaches, and giving the plant at least 6 to 8 hours of light.

Alternatively, you can also leave the newly potted seed outdoors (sheltered in a non-windy area) during the winter months. The seed will enter dormancy and naturally acclimate to the warming temperatures when spring returns.
