|---|
Sow in good seed sowing mix, just covering the seed with sowing mix or vermiculite. Germination takes 30-90 days at 18-20C (65-70F). Sealing inside a plastic bag after sowing until they germinate is helpful.
Growing Instructions
When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3 in) pots. When well grown gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions and plant out 30cm (12in) apart in moist, well drained soil in sun or part shade.
