|---|
Sow at 21-27C (70-80F) on the surface of a good seed sowing mix and gently firm down. Keep soil moist but not wet. Do not exclude light, sealing in a plastic bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 10-21 days.
Growing Instructions
When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny spot on light well drained soil. For pot plants, baskets and containers, transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots, grow in cool well ventilated conditions and give plenty of light, but shade from direct sun.
