Sowing Instructions

Sow April to May at 15-20C (59-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

Aftercare

Will grow in any well drained soil in full sun. Harvest leaves as and when required.
