Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed count | 50 seeds |
| Where to Sow | Sow March to April. Plant out April to May. |
| Where to Sow | Sow the seeds thinly in trays or modules, ensuring 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, maintaining proper spacing. For outdoor sowings, thin seedlings to provide enough space. Once they are sufficiently tall, transplant them to their final positions, keeping the same spacing guidelines. |
