Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Early spring as soon as soil is workable to mid spring or early fall in mild winter areas |
|---|
Sow thinly in shallow drills 30cm (12in) apart in well cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Thin out seedlings to 30cm (12in) apart when large enough to handle.
Alternatively, sow in late summer in 7.5cm (3in) pots in a cool greenhouse and then overwinter plants in cool, well lit conditions. Plant out the following spring after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart in full sun.
