- Sow undercover: March to May or Sow directly outdoors in May to June or September to October
- Sow under cover in good free draining seed compost, just covering the seed with compost.
- Germination usually takes 10-21 days at 13-15 C (55-60 F).
- When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into boxes, grow cool and finally plant out 30 cm (12 in) apart in sun or part shade in free draining soil.
- The easiest method is to sow in late spring/early summer outdoors gently raked into a well prepared seed bed. Transplanted when large enough to final flowering position.
