| Approx. Seed count | 425 seeds |
| When to Sow | May to June |
| Where to Sow | Prepare a seed bed by sowing seeds thinly in shallow rows, ensuring they are spaced evenly for optimal growth. Alternatively, seeds can be sown indoors using seed trays or modules, placing two seeds per cell in a glass-covered environment at a consistent temperature of 13°C. Both methods provide excellent conditions to support healthy germination and development. |
| What to Do Next | For outdoor sowings, thin out seedlings as they develop, ensuring enough space for healthy growth. When the plants are mature enough, transplant them into their final positions with sufficient distance between each plant and row to support their development. For glasshouse seedlings, move them to new trays once their first set of leaves appear, spacing them evenly or reducing to one seedling per module. Gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions before planting them in their permanent spots, ensuring room for them to thrive as they grow. |
