Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | March to May. |
|---|
Sow on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays.
Do not cover the seed.
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 compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 20 to 25 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12 inches) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide a well-drained soil in full sun.
