To ensure your seeds arrive in the freshest condition and undamaged, they are carefully packed in specially designed, fully recyclable packaging.
For larger seed orders we use Yodel express delivery to ensure you receive your package within 3 days of placing your order with the addition of it being fully tracked for your peace of mind.
Note: If grown for the kitchen, pinch off the flower buds as they appear to stop the leaves becoming bitter.
Sow indoors
February-July: (Seeds can be sown at any time of year, but the optimum time is between February and July.) Sow in 8cm (3in) pots of firm, pre-watered compost, covering with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Cover with cling film and keep around 15°C (60°F). When the seedlings emerge, remove the cling film and keep on a sunny windowsill. Water regularly to keep the compost damp, but not wet.
Plant out
May-June: Plants can be moved outside in late spring and summer, acclimatising them gradually.
Tips
Harvest the tips regularly and remove any flowers as you see them. Avoid leaving plants wet overnight- morning watering is ideal.
