| Sowing and/or growing instructions |
| Sow in early spring under glass or direct from April on the surface of seed compost, covering with a sprinkling of sieved compost or fine vermiculite, at 16-18C/60-65F. Germination usually occurs within 7-14 days. Grow seedlings on in individual pots or modules, planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Please note that these seeds have been collected from white plants, but I cannot guarantee that all will come true. |
