Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | late winter to early summer |
Sow on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix 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 mix moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.
Sometimes slow to germinate.
If no germination after 8 weeks, pre-chill for 3 weeks.
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, but at least 8 weeks before first fall frost, 23-30cm (9 to 12 inches) apart.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
Caution
Harmful if eaten.
