Garden Care
Start the seeds off under cover in early spring. Sprinkle onto moist compost, cover thinly and place somewhere bright and warm. Seedlings should appear within 2-3 weeks at 20°C. Transplant into individual pots when seedlings are large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions and harden off before planting out after the last frosts. They may also be sown direct in late spring. They prefers a moist, fertile, humus-rich soil in a sunny but sheltered site
