Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed count | 50 Seeds |
| When to Sow | Sow seeds from March to April. As a late-season variety, they will be ready for harvest between mid-December and January/February. |
| Where to Sow | Sow the seeds thinly in trays or modules, maintaining an appropriate temperature under glass. For later sowings, use a seed bed with shallow drills in short rows. |
| What to do Next | When glasshouse seedlings show their first pair of leaves, transfer them into trays, ensuring ample space between them. Thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually acclimate the seedlings before planting them out once they are sufficiently tall. For outdoor sowings, thin seedlings to provide enough space, then transplant to their final positions once they are large enough. |
