Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:late winter to early summer

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed sowing mix in pots or trays. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the sowing mix moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.

Sometimes slow to germinate. If no germination after 8 weeks, pre-chill for 3 weeks.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost but at least 8 weeks before first fall frost 30cm (12in) apart. For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun.

Caution

Harmful if eaten.
