Sowing Information
Sow direct in rows 1cm ( 1?2″) deep and 30cm (12″) between rows. Transfer into final growing positions approx. 5 weeks after sowing. Alternatively, sow indoors 1cm ( 1?2″) deep in trays of seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite. Place in a propagator at a temperature of 21°C (70°F) to germinate, 4-7 days. Transfer seedlings into 7.5cm (3″) pots and grow on. Acclimatise before planting out in well-drained soil in full sun 50cm (24″) apart each way.
