Sowing Instructions

Sow February to March. Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 10 to 21 days.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 23-30cm (9 to 12 inches) apart or plant into baskets and containers of good multi-purpose compost.

Aftercare

For best results, provide a moist, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade.
