|---|
Sow seeds on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays. Do not cover the seed. Place container in a propagator or seal inside a plastic bag and keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the mix moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months. Sometimes slow to germinate. If no germination after 8 weeks, pre-chill for 3 weeks. Growing Instructions When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Aftercare Instructions Plant out once plants are well grown, 23-30cm (9-12in) apart after last spring frost and at least 8 weeks before first fall frost. For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun. Caution Harmful if eaten.
