How to Grow

• Sow seeds from April to early June in a propagator on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at 20–25°C using moist, good-quality compost.

• Plant one seed on its edge per 7.5cm pot and cover with 19mm of compost.

• Germination takes 5–8 days.

• Grow on and plant outdoors once all risk of frost has passed, spacing plants 90cm apart each way.

• Alternatively, sow direct outdoors in late May, placing 2 seeds per station 90cm apart and thinning to the strongest plant.

• This is a trailing variety, so allow plenty of space for growth.

• Sowing to cropping takes approximately 14 weeks.
