SEED SOWING ADVICE: QUICK & EASY
Suitable for beginners & kids

Sow indoors in spring or autumn / or scatter in the garden.

INDOORS: First sow the seeds in a punnet on the surface of good quality seed raising mix.
Then gently pat the seeds to the surface of the mix to ensure good contact, but do not cover.
Because these seeds need light for germination.

Now place in a warm, well-lit position (not in direct sun).
And continue to keep moist.
Covering with a clear lid helps to maintain moisture.
And you can use a heat mat if you have one, but it is not essential as these seeds are willing germinators.

Temperatures around 20°C. are ideal for rapid and optimum germination.

Then seeds germinate in 10-20 days.

SCATTER DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN: Seeds can be scattered directly in the garden during spring.
