Sowing Instructions

Sow May to June. Sow in pots or module trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at a temperature of between 10-15C (50-59F), or place in a coldframe or sheltered position outdoors. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Germination will usually take 7 to 14 days.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings, if required, into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots or trays. Grow on in cool, well-lit conditions before planting out during September-October, 30cm (12 inches) apart, or transplant into containers.

Aftercare

For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun.
