Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February to May to give plants a head start. Fill seed trays with fine compost and scatter seeds thinly over the surface. Cover lightly with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite, and keep at a temperature of 20-25°C. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging.

 

Transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle. Grow on in a bright, frost-free location and gradually harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 60-90 cm apart in a sunny, sheltered position.

 

For direct sowing, wait until the soil has warmed in late spring. Sow seeds thinly in well-prepared soil and water gently.
