Sow in good seed compost, just covering with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Germination takes 10-21 days at 21-27C (70-80F). Do not exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Growing Instructions When large enough to handle transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. When well grown gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out in late spring after all risk of frost has passed 45-60cm (18-24in) apart in full sun and well drained soil. For containers etc. grow on in 7.5cm (3in) pots, and allow each plant 15-23cm (6-9in) of space.
