When to Sow

Sow Indoors

Sowings can be made in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (¾") deep in short rows. As soon as glasshouse seedlings show their first pair of leaves, prick off into trays 5cm (2") apart or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out, spacing plants 35–45cm (14–18in) apart between plants and 45–60cm (18–24in) between the rows.

Sow Outdoors

Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 7–10cm (3–4in) apart, then once plants are 15cm (6in) tall, they can be lifted and transplanted to their final planting positions, spaced the same as detailed above.

Handy Tip

Firm plants in well at the base to prevent wind rock during Autumn and Winter.
