| Sowing and/or growing instructions | ||||||||||||
| Direct sow in autumn, in a sunny position, thinning to about 18in apart. Alternatively, sow shallowly, covering with a little vermiculite or fine compost, in winter in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, but plant out in final positions when quite young as this is a tap-rooted plant that resents disturbance when more mature. This plant prefers light, well-drained soil, but benefits from adequate moisture. |
