GROWING GUIDE
Pre-Sowing Instructions: Soak in warm water for 12 hours or until seeds swell.
Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of year 2mm deep in moist, free-draining, quality seed compost. Propagate at 10-15C in a greenhouse, on a windowsill or in a coldframe outdoors in spring. Germination should take place in 30-120 days.
Growing Instructions: When the seedlings are large enough to handle, pot up individually into small pots (7-9cm) and grow on in well-ventilated conditions. Overwinter if necessary in a frost free place. When established, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out in late spring/early summer in a sunny or semi shaded position in any soil except very waterlogged.
