Sowing Instructions

Sowing Time: February to May. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover with a light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of between 15-18C (59-64F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 14-30 days.
