Sowing Instructions:

 

Sow seeds indoors from January to April in seed trays filled with fine compost. Press seeds lightly onto the surface but do not cover them, as they require light for germination. Keep at a consistent temperature of 18-22°C and maintain moist but not waterlogged soil.

 

Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant them into individual pots. Before planting outdoors, harden off young plants and space them 20-30 cm apart in a sunny, sheltered location.
