Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth, 20-25°C, and keep moist but not too wet. Allow 3 weeks for germination.

Growing On

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant to 8cm pots, allowing 3 to 4 seedlings per pot.

Hardening Off/Planting Out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out. Allow 30cm between plants. If growing in containers, choose a pot at least 20cm in diameter.
