Sowing & Growing
Either sow seeds in early spring for late summer flowering, or sow in late summer for flowering in early summer the following year. Either way, as these are large seeds that germinate and grow quickly, we recommend sowing the seeds directly into pots (rather than trays) – one seed per pot.
If you sow in the spring, sow indoors and plant out as soon as they are big enough to handle. Space the plants at least 2-3 feet apart and allow plenty of space for paths (the spikey leaves will stop all traffic on your paths if you don’t). If you sow in late summer, sow outdoors and move the pots indoors for the winter, then plant out the following spring. Late summer sowing normally produces higher seed yields.
