Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Sow in a tray of moist seed compost in gentle warmth 10-15°C. Lightly cover the seeds with a little more compost.

Transplanting

Transplant individually to 8cm pots of compost when seedlings are large enough to handle

Hardening Off/Planting Out

Gradually accustom to cooler conditions before planting out from April onwards. Plants produced from August to October sowings should be planted out in late autumn. Allow 30cm between plants

Sowing Outdoors

Rake soil to provide a firm, even surface. Sow seeds in pre-watered soil, lightly covering them with a little more soil. Sowings made in semi-circular lines create a natural ‘drift’ effect. Keep moist until seedlings appear and as required in dry spells.

Aftercare

When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin out to avoid overcrowding and disease
