How to Grow

1. Fill a seedling tray or small pot with a fine, clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
2. Sow at the right depth — 2–3 mm — cover lightly.
3. Water gently with a spray bottle so the seeds are not displaced. Keep the medium moist, not waterlogged.
4. Place the tray where it gets the right light for this plant (full sun). Protect young seedlings from harsh afternoon sun.
5. Under suitable conditions, sprouts usually appear in 7–14 days.

Light, water, soil and feeding

• Light: Full sun

• Soil: Light, well-drained soil with compost.
• Temperature: 10–25C
• Fertiliser: A light balanced liquid feed every 3 weeks.
