Sowing Instructions

Germinate from March to May at 18-20C (64-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of compost or vermiculite, 3mm (1/8in) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 5-10 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.
