Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Transplant individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3") pots. (Hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 20cm (8") apart.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors in a seed bed, 0.5cm (1/4") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Seedlings appear in 21-35 days.
