Sowing Instructions

Germinate at 18-20C (64-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost.
Apply a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite, just covering the seed.
Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days.
Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Plant outside after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
