Sowing and/or growing instructions
Sow outside in late autumn or early winter, in pots of good quality, moist compost, barely covering with a little sieved compost or fine vermiculite. Provide the protection of a cold frame if possible. A period of cold is required to aid germination, which should occur as spring commences. I understand that germination can be slow and erratic, sometimes taking 2 years, but my sowings have always germinated within the first year. Transplant seedlings and grow on, planting out when large enough.
