Sowing Instructions

 

Sow the seeds indoors in early spring, between February  - April to give them a head start. Use trays or pots filled with seed compost, and lightly cover the seeds with a fine layer of compost. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 16–18°C until the seeds germinate.

 

Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or directly outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Space the plants about 40 cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and optimal growth.

 

For direct sowing outdoors from April plant seeds in well-prepared soil in early spring, ensuring the soil is fertile and well-drained. Thin the seedlings to ensure they have adequate space to develop.
