How to Grow

Direct garden sow seed at the end of May. Barely cover the seeds with soil and keep soil moist though the 7-14 day germination period. Thin or transplant to 30 cm apart when the seedlings are 5 cm tall. For earlier flowering, start seed indoors in a soil-less mix in late March. Leave seeds on the surface of the growing medium and maintain a temperature of 21-24° C. Grow on under lights at 15° C before hardening off and transplanting outside in late May.
