Store seed at 40F for 8 weeks then lightly cover. soil temperature 60-70F & takes 14-35 days to germinate.

These are easy to germinate. You shouldn't have any problem. Just plant them in moist (not wet) soil, cover to keep the soil from drying out, and keep at room temperature.

What if I don't store the seed in 40F? Will they germinate or do I need to put them in the refrigirator for 8 weeks? Thank you

No need to refrigerate. I just cleaned mine, put them on a paper towel to dry for a day or two, popped the dry seed into a plastic container setting on my end table for a month or so, and then planted them. Had near 100% germination.
