Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | March to May. |
|---|
Sow thinly on the surface of any moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12 inches) apart or grow on in 15cm (6 inch) pots.
Aftercare Instructions
For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.
