Sowing advice

Sow in late winter to early spring.  Sow the seeds on the surface of moist seed raising mix in pots or trays.  Don’t cover them as light assists germination.  Keep them moist by watering with a mister, or from the base of the pot , so as not to drive the seeds down under the mix.  Ideal Temperature 20 Deg C. Seeds should germinate in about 2-4 weeks. If they don’t germinate in this time cover the pot with plastic and put into the fridge at about 4 deg C for about 4 weeks.  Bring them back out  after this time to about 20 deg C, and remove the plastic cover .
