Like most cooler climate perennials, it requires a period of cold to break dormancy. This can be achieved by sowing the seeds outdoors in fall/winter or simulating these conditions in your refrigerator by folding the seeds into a moist paper towel and sealing it in a ziploc bag and placing it in your refrigerator for 60 days, then sow as normal. Just barely cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate. Temperatures should be around 70 degrees after the cold period.
This is for approx 100 seeds (measured by volume)
