Sowing Instructions

 

Sow between February  - April filling seed trays with fine seed compost and lightly press the seeds onto the surface without covering them. Maintain a temperature of 18–22°C and keep the soil consistently moist. Once the seeds have germinated, prick out the seedlings and transplant them into larger containers when they are big enough to handle.

 

After the last frost, harden off the seedlings and transplant them into their final position in a shaded or partly shaded area with moist, well-drained soil. Space the plants around 30 – 45 cm apart for optimal growth.
