Sowing Instructions
Sowing Indoors: Begin by making a firm seed bed using a good quality seed compost in shallow pots or trays, water using a watering can until damp. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface, lightly cover with vermiculite and firm down, water them in using a watering can and fine rose. Cover the trays with some plastic, we recommend painting dust sheets as it is a light plastic, ensuring that the plastic does not touch the seed bed. Keep the trays or pots at steady temperature of around 15 degrees, germination should take 12-16 days. Once germinated, remove the plastic and let them have some light as they will stretch for the light and become leggy if light is absent. Once they are around 1in/3-4cm in height, they can be transplanted into a bigger pot to grow some more before planting out into the garden once the frost has passed.
Sowing Outdoors: Sow outdoors in the autumn or May. In a sunny spot, level the area with a rake. Sprinkle the seeds out and then rake over with a light layer of soil. They should then germinate the following spring.
If germination doesn’t take place after 3-4 weeks, move outside for 2-3 weeks.
