Each packet contains approximately 150 seeds.
Yes, 'Red Ace' can be grown in deep containers, provided they are at least 30cm deep and have excellent drainage.
You can sow directly outdoors from March through to July.
Seeds should be sown at a depth of 3cm (1").
While it is a vigorous grower, standard precautions against slugs and snails should be taken, especially when the seedlings are young.
F1 hybrid refers to a first-generation cross between two different varieties, specifically bred for improved vigor, disease resistance, and uniformity.
Ensure soil temperatures are warming up (March onwards) and that the soil has not dried out completely during the 12-24 day germination window.
This is often caused by harvesting too late or insufficient moisture during dry spells; water regularly and harvest when roots are young.
This usually indicates the presence of rocks or heavy, compacted soil; ensure soil is well-dug and friable before sowing.
