Both these seeds should germinate easily with little or no problems.
Simply sprinkle the seeds onto pots of soil - use a mix of about 50/50
peat and fine sand. The seeds are very fine so there is no need to cover
them - at least I've never done so. You should get germination within
about six weeks assuming a minimum temperature of about 15C.

Transplant the seedlings once they have developed several leaves into
individual pots. You should be able to get them to flowering size in
about two years though I have had plants flowering after just one year.
