Cultivation AdviceÂ
- Sow from 6-8 weeks before the last frost onto the surface of a free-draining, open structured, fine sowing compost and germinate under cover.
- Cover trays with clear or milky polythene to maintain humidity, until the first seedlings are visible.
- Germination takes around 7-10 days at 15-20C (not warmer as higher temperatures depress germination).
- Keep the germinating seedlings moist at all times.
- After around 5 weeks, plant the seedlings on to trays and plant out after all danger of frost has passed.
- Protect young plants from slugs and snails
