GROWING GUIDE

Sow at any time of the year except early to mid summer as too much heat may lead to spindly plants.

• Soak seeds for several hours until they start to swell.
  
• Sow 3mm deep in a moist, well-drained, seed compost in pots or trays. 
• Seal in a polythene bag or place in a propagator and maintain an optimum temperature of 18-21C.
• Germination should occur after 15-60 days.

• As the seedlings emerge, gradually increase ventilation by opening the bag or propagator vents.
• Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 9cm pots.
• Grow on in cooler conditions (about 15C) with plenty of light, but shaded from direct sun and overwinter, if necessary, at about 5C. 
• When established, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions by placing plants outside during the day for 2 weeks before planting out in the garden.
  
  Caution: Harmful if eaten.  Note: If seeds are a red or blue-green colour, they are filmcoated to protect against disease.  Wash hands after handling.
