GROWING GUIDE 

Sow at any time of the year except mid-summer as too much heat may produce spindly plants.

• Sow well spaced on the surface of a moist, well drained seed compost in pots or trays.
• Seal inside a polythene bag or place in a propagator and maintain a temperature of 15-20C.
• Germination should begin after 30 days, though some stubborn seeds may take many months.
• 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 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.
