Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (¼in) of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag and maintain at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which takes 10-14 days.
Growing Info:
Transplant when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in)pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots or 3 plants per grow bag when plants have reached 20cm (8in) high. For optimum results grow in the greenhouse, but can be planted outdoors 45cm (18in) apart once all risk of frost is passed. Plants require sideshooting and support. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Harvesting Period:
February to April
No. of Seeds: 4 (approx)
