Well, I've checked one encyclopaedia and it says propagate by seed in autumn (but doesn't tell you how) and the other encyclopaedia says to propagate from seed in spring - sow in small pots under glass in March/April, so I'd go with the second one, personally.
You could try some now, specially if you have a heated greenhouse, or somewhere warm and bright indoors. If you don't have a heated greenhouse though, and they germinate, you've then got to keep them indoors all winter and they will probably get very leggy. Even if you wait till spring, without a greenhouse ,you'd have to germinate them similarly and then grow them on indoors till the weather's warmed up.
