Sowing Instructions

 

Start seeds indoors from April - June in seed trays or small pots filled with fine, well drained compost. Sow seeds on the surface, as they need light to germinate, and keep at a temperature of 18-21°C. Maintain consistent moisture and avoid direct sunlight during germination. Once seedlings are large enough, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the last frost.

 

Direct sow outdoors from May onwards in well-prepared soil. Lightly press the seeds onto the surface and ensure consistent moisture while waiting for germination. Thin seedlings as necessary to prevent overcrowding.
