GROWING GUIDE
Sow at any time of year.
- Sow well spaced on the surface of a moist, well drained seed compost in pots or trays.
- Seal in a polythene bag or place in a propagator and maintain a temperature of 15-18C somewhere with plenty of light.
- Germination should begin after 14 days. though some seeds may take 2 months or more.
- Keep checking to make sure the compost does not dry out - it should be slightly moist.
- As the seedlings emerge, increase ventilation by opening the bag or propagator vents.
- Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 9cm pots.
- Grow on in slightly cooler conditions with plenty of light, but shaded from direct sun.
- When established, in mid spring gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions by placing plants outside during the day for 2 weeks before planting out.
- Young plants need frost protection for the first few winters. If planted in the garden, wrap in fleece and move containers to a frost free place.
