GROWING GUIDE

Sowing Instructions: Sow any time of the year except mid summer.  Sow onto the surface of a moist, free-draining seed compost (eg. John Innes) mixed 50:50 with vermiculite or perlite. Cover seed with a sprinkling of vermiculite or perlite and propagate at 13 to 18C in a propagator, greenhouse or on a shaded windowsill indoors sealed in a polythene bag. Germination will take place in 30 to 90 days. As soon as some of the seedlings begin to emerge, ventilate gradually, maintain a temperature of around 13 -15C and take care not to over-water.

Growing Instructions: Grow the seedlings on, shaded lightly from direct sunlight and when large enough to handle, pot up individually into 8 or 9cm pots. When large enough, plant out into well-drained soil in a sunny or semi shaded position.
