Growing Information
Growing Information
Sow under glass August-November, ideally in a cold frame. Sow 2mm deep into moist well-drained seed compost. Germination can take up to 3 months and can be erratic. Natural winter cold should provide the ideal conditions for germination to occur in spring as the weather warms. Transplant seedlings to individual pots when large enough to handle. Seedlings may die off but should return in the next year after a period of dormancy. If sown indoors a period of cold stratification will be required. Acclimatise and plant out when the danger of frost has passed and plants should flower that year.
