Sowing and/or growing instructions
Seed is best sown fresh. To aid germination, soak in tepid water for 24 hours, then sow 0.25in/6mm deep in a pot of good quality, gritty but moist compost (not over-firmly) and cover to exclude light. Place in a cold frame or cool greenhouse at 55-60F/13-15C. Germination can take anything from 1-6 months, so check from time to time and pot on seedlings as they appear. Plant out when large enough, not too deeply, which can prevent flowering, taking care to disturb the roots as little as possible.
