|---|
Sow at 18-24C (65-75F) in a good seed sowing mix. Sow seeds on surface of sowing mix and gently firm down. Keep mix damp but not wet. Do not exclude light, sealing in a plastic bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 14 to 21 days.
Growing Instructions
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant in bunches of 3 or 4 and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 10cm (4in) apart in a sunny spot in light moist soil. For pot plants, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, grow in a cool and well ventilated environment and give plenty of light, but shade from direct sun.
