Sowing Time
February – April
Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds evenly spaced over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 15-20 degree Celsius (60-70 Fahrenheit), and keep moist.
Growing On
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings singly to 8cm (3in) pots of all purpose compost.
Hardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm (12in) between plants if planting in the open. Container plantings can be closer. The shoots may turn yellow when exposed to cooler conditions, but they soon recover.
Flowering Time
June – September
Warning
Harmful if eaten.
