Where to Sow

Sow seed thinly in drills 45cm (18") apart in well cultivated soil raked to a fine tilth. Germination usually takes 15-21 days. For earlier sowings sow indoors, individually in 7.5cm (3") pots at 20-25°C. When well grown, gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out after all risk of frost has passed, in a well drained soil. Position in full sun or into containers.

What to do Next

When large enough to handle, thin to 45cm (18") apart.
