Germination
Sow directly from early spring-early summer. Prior to sowing soak seeds for 2-4 hours in warm water. Sow seed 7mm deep in rows into prepared soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Germination takes 7-14 days approx. Thin seedlings to 10cm spacing as this close spacing ensure long, deep, root growth.
Growing
Prefers a moist be well-drained soil in full or partial sun. Water regularly.
