- Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of moist seed compost.

- Seeds will usually germinate within 7-14 days.
- Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots.
- Grow on in bright light, keeping the compost just moist.
- Gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions before planting out.

- Space plants about 15-20cm apart.
