Germination
Sow early indoors. Surface sow into moist well-drained seed compost with added sand 9:1 ratio. Press seeds lightly into soil and cover with a little soil. Cover seed tray with newspaper. Keep in shade. Ideal temp. 22°C. Germination takes 15-30 days. Once seedlings appear remove newspaper and expose to sun. Acclimatise and plant out once weather warms with 30cm spacing. If weather is inconsistent offer cloche protection.
Growing
Prefers a rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Water only when dry. Water the soils, not the leaves to prevent leaf burn.
Cultivation
Harvest leaves and flowers early for best flavour. Approx. 80-85 days from sowing.
