How to Sow and Grow

• Sow indoors, February-April.
• A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds.
• Sow, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in trays of compost.
• Water well and place in a warm position.
• A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal.
• Keep moist.
• Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days.
• Transplant them, 5cm (2″) apart, to other trays when large enough to handle (always hold by a leaf, never by the stem).
• Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions.
• Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, 30cm (1′) apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over.
• Flowers: July-October.
