Growing Instructions
-
Surface sow seeds onto moist compost between January and March.
-
Lightly cover the seeds with a fine layer of vermiculite or compost.
-
Place in a propagator or warm location at 21–24°C.
-
Germination typically occurs within 14–21 days.
-
Transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle.
-
Gradually harden off the plants outdoors once the danger of frost has passed.
-
Provide support, such as a trellis or framework, as this is a climbing variety.
-
Harvest leaves regularly to encourage new growth and prevent them from becoming large and bitter.
