Germination

Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Propagate or place somewhere warm, ideal temp. 15-20°C. Do not exclude light. Germination takes 14-30 days. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings to 8cm pots. Can be sown under glass in Oct. for planting out the following spring. Acclimatise and plant out once plants are 2-3cm tall with 25cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers a moist well-drained soil in full sun. Requires little attention.

Cultivation
