Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors in fine, free-draining seed compost, gently covering them with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite.
• Keep the seed tray warm and consistently moist until seedlings emerge, then gradually acclimatise the young plants to outdoor conditions.
• Plant out in their final garden position spaced 25cm apart, keeping the area clear of aggressive weeds while the plants establish their permanent roots.
