GROWING GUIDE
Pre-sowing Treatment: Soak the seeds in water that starts off hand hot for 4 hours.
Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of the year. Mix equal parts of good quality seed compost, eg. John Innes with vermiculite, perlite or horticultural grit and sow seeds very thinly on the surface, then just cover them with a layer of vermiculite, perlite or grit. Seal inside a polythene bag and place in the fridge for 8 weeks. After this, move to a propagator or other warm place and maintain an optimum temperature of 15-18C. Germination should take place in 1-2 months. Note: Germination can be very erratic, so sow thinly and prick out the seedlings as they become large enough to handle disturbing the rest of the compost as little as possible.
An alternative method is to sow in pots as above during late summer to early winter then place in a cold frame and let nature take its course as the seasons change with the seedlings emerging the next spring.
Growing Instructions: Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots and grow on in a cold frame or nursery bed for a year or two then plant in their final position in a sunny spot with moist soil.
