Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from early spring February- May in trays or pots filled with fine compost. Lightly press seeds onto the surface and cover with a thin layer of compost. Maintain a temperature of 18-22°C and keep soil moist until germination occurs.

 

Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 25-30 cm apart in a warm, sheltered spot with full sun.
