Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost or outdoors after last frost |
|---|
Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite.
Keep at a temperature of between 21-25C (70-75F).
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 7-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Aftercare Instructions
Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
