1 Packet (25 Seeds) (VM00964)

  • Sow seed, 4cm (11/2in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of free-draining compost. Place in a propagator or seal containers insidea polythene bag and keep at 18-20°C (64-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude daylight as this helps germination.

  • Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 7-10 days before planting out after all risk of frost. Keep well watered, feed and mulch during dry periods.
  • Harvest during September and October.
