Growing Info: Feb-April, sow undercover, in trays or pots of moist seed compost. Surface sow and cover with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite. Keep at 15-20°C for germination. Transplant seedlings to larger pots when they have established 2-4 true leaves. Acclimatise plants gradually and plant 60-70cm apart when frosts have finished. |
