Sowing Instructions

Sow February-May. Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed or multipurpose compost. Cover the seed with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place container in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and place at a temperature of 18-20C (64-68F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
