It could be that the seed you bought was old. Older seeds tend to take a bit longer to germinate if at all. It could also be that you planted the seed in soil that was too cold and moist, judging by your post being in mid-winter. You could also possibly have planted the seeds too deep. This is normally a very reliable seed.
