SEEDS BEST SOWN IN A GOOD SPELL OF WARM SUMMER WEATHER FOR BEST RESULTS, GERMINATION NORMALLY TAKES PLACE WITHIN 10 TO 12 DAYS.
soak seeds over night in tepid water .
sow seeds in 3" dia pots and keep compost moist.
out of 7 seeds sown 2 germinated and have survived the winter in a cold greenhouse.the plants must be planted out in final position in second year to allow the long tap root to establish itself.
