Germination

Sow indoors in late winter/ early spring. Sow directly after danger of frost has passed. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover with a sprinkling of soil. Ideal temp. 18-24°C. Germination takes 14-21 days approx. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle grow on. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed or grow on in the greenhouse. A 12L pot or a growbag is ideal, alternatively 25cm spacing directly. Will require a support on which to climb.

Growing

Prefers a moist, fertile soil in full sun. Will require a framework on which to climb.

Cultivation

Best grown as an annual. If grown for eating do not allow to flower as this will turn the leaves bitter. Frost will kill this plant. Pull and compost at the end of the growing season.
