Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:	Indoors 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost zones 2-7, autumn zones 8-10

Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed sowing mix. Do not cover the seed. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag until after germination which usually takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
