Sow on the surface of a good seed compost at 18-24C (65-75F) and gently firm down the compost. Keep soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination takes 14-21 days. Growing Instructions When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant in bunches of 3 or 4 and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 10cm (4in) apart in a sunny spot in light, moist soil. Aftercare Instructions For pots, containers etc. leave in a sheltered spot for a few days to make sure that they are well established before standing outside. Caution Harmful if eaten.
