Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | February to June or September to October. |
|---|
Sow into pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover seed with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 14-30 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12 inches) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
