When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow in cool conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9- 12in) apart in most soils, sun or part shade.

Aftercare Instructions

Summer sowings should be moved to a cold frame and planted out in early spring.
