Sowing advice

Sow the seeds on moist seed raising mix, at the end of autumn  or beginning of winter when the temperatures have fallen to about 14 deg C in the middle of the day or lower .  It can go down to lower temps at night which won’t bother them a bit.  Don’t cover them, just press a small shallow hole with finger  into the mix which will stop the seed from floating away when you water it, and put a seed into the divot. Keep the seeds in cool conditions in full sun. Keep them moist but not soggy. They should germinate in about 2-3 weeks.
