Sowing Instructions

Sow April to June. Sow seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays and cover with a very light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Seal container inside a polythene bag and keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 14 to 30 days.

Aftercare

For best results, provide any ordinary, well-drained soil in part shade. Always ensure good drainage, mulch plants with compost in autumn.
