Product Details
Growing Instructions
Sow the seeds in warmth during late spring in 3-inch pots, planting them 1/2 inch deep. For optimal growth, use 3-4 seeds per pot. Germination occurs in approximately 5-10 days. After the seedlings have sprouted, thin to the strongest plants before transferring them to larger pots or directly into the ground. Although ideally grown under cover, this variety can also thrive in warm, sheltered outdoor positions. The plants may be trained to save space or allowed to trail freely.
These seeds are supplied by a professional DEFRA-licensed provider, ensuring quality. They come in minimal packaging, stored in ziplock labelled bags. Instructions for cultivation are not attached, but guidelines are detailed above.
