"Lambs Ear" germination

I have some Lambs Ear seeds that I want to germinate here in California and its just starting to be about 70 degrees everyday now but its gettig late into the season so I want to give them a jumpstart by germinating them.
I know it takes 7-10 days germination but what I need t know is whether or not they need DARK or LIGHT for their germination period.
Thanks in advance.

i always heard to put them in the damp paper towl, ph of water doesn't matter... wrap that in plastic and put it somewhere dark, shouldn't matter too much anyways but i'd go with dark.

I knew that much but its different for normal outdoor flowers. Some go dark and some go in a warm place w/ paper towel etc. thanks ill try a couple in both.
