Sowing & Growing
Sow in trays, pots, or similar containers with good seed compost, placing them in a propagator or a warm location to maintain an optimal temperature of 60-65F (15-18C). Use well-drained compost and lightly cover the seeds. This process can be undertaken at any time of the year, but germination may be gradual. After sowing, enclose the container in a polythene bag and keep it at 60-65F (15-18C) for 2 weeks. Then, transfer it to a refrigerator (not the freezer) for 3-6 weeks. Following this cold period, return the container to the recommended germination temperature.
If germination hasn’t occurred in 6-10 weeks, repeat the refrigeration for another 3-6 weeks. Regularly check the seeds for signs of germination while in the fridge, and promptly remove them if germination is detected. Transplant the seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots once they are large enough to handle. Grow them in a cold frame and plant them outdoors the following spring, spacing them 30cm (12in) apart in full sun.
