Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
Needs no special treatment if grown in autumn, but in warmer periods it is advisable to stratify the seed for a couple of months in the fridge or freezer. Germination should take place once the temperature reaches about 70F (or heat can be provided). Either allow plants to spread at will, or prune out forward-pointing stems and train against a wall. |
