Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Indoors 8-10 weeks before planting out after all danger of frost has passed |
|---|
Sow in pots or trays of moist seed sowing mix and cover with a very fine sprinkling of sowing mix or vermiculite.
Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F).
The soil temperature should be steady, low or fluctuating temperatures may cause the seed to take much longer to germinate.
After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 3-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays.
Gradually acclimatize 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 light, well-drained soil in full sun.
