Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | February to June or September to October. |
|---|
Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays.
Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite.
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 can take 10-30 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.
For best results, provide any ordinary well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.
