Sowing time: February to June.

Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Do not cover seed. Keep at a temperature of between 21-25C (70-75F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination will usually take 14-30 days.
