Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors from late winter to mid-spring in trays of moist, free-draining seed compost, covering the seeds with a very fine 3mm layer of compost or vermiculite as they prefer darkness to germinate.
• Maintain a steady temperature of 15–20°C. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, prick them out into individual pots or cell trays and grow on in cooler, frost-free conditions.
• Gradually acclimatise the young plants to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into their final position in well-drained soil and full sun after all danger of spring frost has safely passed.
