Sowing and/or growing instructions |
Soak seeds in warm water for a couple of hours prior to sowing. This helps removes any traces of fruit pulp that might inhibit germination. Sow 2mm deep in good quality compost, covering with a dusting of fine vermiculite or sieved compost. Place in a propagator at 13-15C/55-60F. Pot on seedlings as necessary and grow on under glass until all danger of frost is past. Plants should survive winters outside if planted in a warm, shelter position such as a south-facing wall. If in doubt, grow in containers and bring under glass for the winter. |
