GROWING GUIDE

Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of year. Sow onto the surface of a good free draining damp seed compost and lightly cover with sieved compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place and maintain a temperature of 15-20C. Germination can be slow and can take 2-3 months. Sometimes the seeds will wait until spring to germinate regardless of when they are sown.

Growing Instructions: When seedlings are large enough to handle, pot up individually into 7.5cm pots and grow on in cool conditions in good, natural light. Acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Plant out 90cm apart in a sunny position in loamy well drained soil. Protect from temperatures below 0C or grow as an annual.
