Approx. Seed Count50 Seeds
When to SowLate January to June. Germinates in 7-14 days.
Where to SowFor early sowings, use trays or modules under glass at an appropriate temperature. For later sowings, use a seed bed with shallow drills in short rows.
What to Do NextWhen 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.
