Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 15-20°C and keep moist.

Growing On

Keep seedlings in a light position but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart into trays of potting compost, or individually in small pots.

Hardening Off / Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks and then plant out when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants.
