Growing Instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Use a soil-less growing mixture for germinating and growing seeds indoors. The temperature of the seedling mix should be 21-24°C (70-75°F) for prompt germination. When the seedlings are 4cm (1.75in) high, transplant each into individual peat pots and reduce temperature to 15-18°C (59-65°F) and grow on under lights until hardening off and planting out in late May. Transplant into well-drained organic soil.
