Sowing Instructions
| Sowing time: | Jan to April |
|---|
Sow in pots or trays of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or warm place, providing a temperature of about 15-20C (59-68F). Cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged, germination will usually take 21-30 days.
