Where to Sow

Prior to sowing, soak the seed for 2 hours in water. Drain then surface sow seeds on their edge onto moist, well-drained seed sowing compost. Then cover seeds to own depth with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite and place at a temperature of 16-18C (60-64F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination which usually takes 14-21 days.

What to do Next

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost 30-45cm (12-18”) apart, in well-drained soil in full sun.

Handy Tip

Plants will require a frame or trellis on which to climb up.
