Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:	Indoors, 6-8 weeks before last frost

Sow in a good seed sowing mix. Don't cover the seed with sowing mix as light is beneficial to germination. Sealing in a plastic bag after sowing is also helpful. Germination takes 5-14 days at 21-24C (70-75F).

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. When well grown, gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions and plant out in late spring after all risk of frost has passed 23cm (8in) apart in full sun and well drained soil.
