Growing Information

Growing Information

Seeds can be sown from January to March. Using a multipurpose soilless compost or a good quality seed compost, fill seed trays or 7.5cm (3?) pots, leaving a ?? gap at the top.

Sow the seeds thinly in the trays or singularly in the pots. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost and water. Place in a propagator or cover with cling film and stand on a warm, sunny windowsill.

Temperature for germination should be approximately 20o-25oC (68o-78oF) but check the seed packets for individual varieties. Too high a temperature in the early stages leads to spindly growth and unhealthy plants.

Once the seeds have germinated, usually 7-14 days from sowing, remove the cling film, or take them out of the propagator and return them to the windowsill. If growing in trays, the seedlings should be transplanted into 7.5cm (3?) pots when they are 2-3 cm tall, using a multipurpose compost. Keep the compost moist by watering with a fine rose, preferably in the morning.

Keep potting on as required until the plants are ready to plant out.
