Drain then surface sow seeds on their edge onto moist, well-drained seed compost, just cover with sprinkling of soil. Ideal temp. 18-24°C. Germination takes 21-30 days. For indoor sowings transplant seedlings once large enough to handle 13cm pots. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed.
