Sowing & Growing
Sow from January to April, placing seeds 2cm (¾”) apart in seed trays or two seeds per cell in modules under glass at a temperature of 20°C. Lightly cover the seeds with compost. Once the seedlings have developed two full leaves, carefully transplant them into individual pots. Allow them to grow on before planting them in grow-bags or large pots. When transplanting them outdoors, choose a sunny and sheltered location. Expect maturity between July and October, and consider providing some support for the plants. Be cautious of the calyx, as it can be prickly and potentially cause discomfort.
