Sowing Instructions

Sow late winter to mid spring on the surface of a good seed compost at 18-24C (65-75F) and gently firm down the compost. Keep soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination takes 14-21 days.

Growing Instructions

Aftercare

For pots, containers etc. leave in a sheltered spot for a few days to make sure that they are well established before standing outside.
