How To Sow

Delivery

Reviews
Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, soil-less seed compost in pots or trays. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-30 days. As soon as you see the seeds starting to chit (germinate) lightly cover the seeds with vermiculite. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.

Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions in a cold frame or sheltered part of the garden for few weeks before planting out in the autumn in borders spaced 15cm (6in) apart, or plant into containers for autumn/spring colour.
