Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | January to April or June to September. |
|---|
Prechill seed for 3 weeks.
Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
Place container in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and keep at a temperature of between 15-18C (60-65F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-4 months.
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Growing Instructions
Plant out once plants are well grown, 30cm (12in) apart.
For best results, provide a fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.
Aftercare Instructions
Plants will prove reliably hardy if wet winter conditions are avoided.
Over- winter September sowings in a cold frame and plant out the following spring.
