Please note - These seeds should ideally be sown this season. All our packets have ‘Sow by Date’ guidance on them, this is the date the seeds should be sown in order to achieve the highest rate of germination. You will still see the same high-quality plants if sowing in seasons after the ‘Sow by Date’ but may see a reduction in germination rate

How to Guide

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost.

Place in warmth 10-15°C (50-60°F) and keep moist. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost.

Gradually accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 45cm (18in) apart during summer.

Sowing Outdoors

Sow seeds thinly in a shadow, pre-watered row. Lightly cover seeds with a little soil. Kepp soil moist until seedlings are established.

Row Spacing

45cm / 18in

Sowing Distance

45cm / 18in

Transplanting

When the seedlings have produced about four true leaves, transplant them to their cropping positions, allowing about 45cm (18in) each way between plants. Firm them in, and keep them well watered in dry spells.

Aftercare

Keep well watered in dry spells.
