Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors at least 6-8 weeks before last frost |
|---|
Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 7-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30-38cm (12-15in) apart.
For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun.
