Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Sow seeds 3-4mm (⅛in) deep in pots or trays of good, free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.

Aftercare

Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
