Level fill a module seed tray, firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually & cover with a 1/2cm layer of fine compost. Place in a propagator at 18-20°C or cover tray with cling film & leave in a warm room. Keep moist.
When shoots appear, remove the cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When plants have 4 leaves transplant to 9cm pots of potting compost. Grow cooly & steadily. Minimum temp of 10°C. Pinch the growing tip to encourage bushy growth.
Indoors: When the first flowering truss forms transfer to greenhouse border, grow bags or large pots 30cm in rows 60cm apart minimum 10°C.
Outdoors: Gradually accustom plants to outdoor conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out when temps exceed 10°C.
