For the best results, sow seeds from February to June or September to October. Place seeds on the surface of moist, firmed seed compost and do not cover them, as light is essential for germination. Place your container inside a polythene bag at a steady temperature of 15-20C (59-68F). Keep the compost moist but avoid water-logging. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them into individual 7.5cm pots. When moving to their permanent outdoor position, choose a spot with well-drained soil and ensure they receive adequate sunlight. Always wear gloves during planting or pruning to avoid skin irritation.
