Sowing & Growing
For indoor cultivation, sow seeds at a depth of 1.5cm, ensuring thorough watering, and then position in a cold frame or another indoor area. When the seedlings are of sufficient size for handling, take care to hold them by the leaves rather than the stems. Expect seedlings to emerge within approximately 21-28 days. Before planting outdoors, acclimatize young plants to the external environment and space them at 50cm intervals.
For outdoor sowing, plant seeds at a depth of 0.5cm in well-watered soil. Space the seedlings 8cm apart before transplanting them into their final flowering positions during the summer.
