Growing Instructions
Sow at any time of the year. Soak seeds for 24 hours. Sow very thinly in trays or pots of moist seed compost (eg. John Innes), lightly cover with compost and seal inside a polythene bag. Maintain an optimum temperature of 18-21C for 8 weeks, then place the container(s) in the fridge for a further 8 weeks. Then, return to 18-21C and germination should take place. Throughout this process check regularly and ensure the compost does not dry out. Note: Germination can be very erratic, so sow thinly and prick out the seedlings as they become large enough to handle disturbing the rest of the compost as little as possible.
Alternatively, sow as above, seal in a polythene bag and place in a cold frame or sheltered part of the garden and let nature take its course as the seasons change.
