Sowing:

Germinate February to April at 68-86F on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a layer of compost, 1/16 inch deep. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-14 days. Do not exclude light at any stage, as this helps germination. Can also be sown direct outdoors in May.

Growing:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 3 inch pots. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions. When well grown, acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost, 3 feet apart.
