Tips & Advice:

Sowing Outdoors

Sow in trays of pre-watered seed compost and cover lightly. Keep in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, do not allow to dry out and allow around three weeks for germination.

Growing On

When large enough to handle, transplant into 8cm pots. Slowly acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out after the risk of frost has passed.

Planting Out

Choose a sunny spot in any well-drained soil, where they will provide good ground cover. Plant approximately 30cm apart.

Advice

Seeds may be slow to germinate, so please be patient. A period of exposure to colder temperatures will help this process.
