Germination
Sow under glass. Surface sow onto compost which has been soaked and drained. Cover seeds lightly with soil. Place in a cold frame. Germination takes 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on. Plant out in early summer with 50cm spacing. Can be sown directly into prepared soil in late spring.
Growing
Water until established. Requires little attention.
