• Sow from Feb onwards, on the surface of a good well draining damp seed compost and lightly cover, preferably with vermiculite.
• Germinate at 64-68F.  Place in a propagator or seal in a polythene bag to maintain moisture.
• Germination can be slow at 14-21 days.
• Excess moisture, deep sowing or low temperatures will cause seeds to rot.
• Transplant seedlings into individual pots to grow on when large enough to handle and grow on in cooler well ventilated conditions.
• Plant out only after all danger of frost has passed.
