Where to Sow
Indoors using seed sowing compost in pots or trays in the greenhouse at 18°C.
Outside in free-draining soil in mid-spring when the soil has warmed up. They will need an open spot with plenty of sun and well-drained soil. Sow 2 to 3 seeds 30cm (12") apart, then thin out so the final spacing is 1 metre (39") apart.
When to transplant
When seedlings are large enough to handle, prick off into small pots. Harden off and grow on. Plant out 1m (39") apart the following spring. Add plenty of well-rotted manure to the planting site and add horticultural grit to clay soil to improve drainage. Rake in some general fertilizer before planting.
