🌱 Sowing & Growing Instructions
- Fill a seed tray with compost and water thoroughly before sowing to keep moisture even.
- Place seeds individually on the compost surface, spacing about 1 inch apart. Do not press them in deeply.
- Lightly cover with a thin layer of compost.
- Place tray in a warm location to germinate. Light is not required initially.
- Germination typically occurs in 10–14 days. Once seedlings emerge, remove any covering and provide light.
- After 3–4 weeks, when roots are visible, gently prick out seedlings—handle only the seed leaves.
- Pot each seedling individually using peat-free compost, firm lightly, and water.
- Grow on in bright light with cool tops and warm roots.
- Transplant outdoors by June.
- Plants usually flower the following year. Remove early flower spikes to strengthen root development.
