Sowing advice

Sow in Spring and summer. Sow in seed trays or pots
Sow indoors into a moist well-drained seed compost. Cover very thinly as the seeds need light to germinate. Propagate at 18 -23 deg C, keep moist. Germination takes 5-14 days. Transplant seedlings once large enough at 35-40 cm apart after all danger of frost is gone.
