Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | February to April. |
|---|
Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed or multipurpose compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite.
Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days.
Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots.
Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
