|---|
Sow seeds on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays and cover with a very light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F), or place in a coldframe or sheltered position outdoors. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1 to 2 months and may be erratic. Growing Instructions When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Plant out once plants are well grown, 60-90cm (24 to 36 inches) apart. Aftercare Instructions For best results, provide a rich, well-drained soil in full sun.
