When to sow: Early spring

Soil: Prepared, well drained, fertilised soil. Add lime if soil is too acid.

Directions: Plant the seed individually in 5 or 7.5cm pots on bottom heat 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. When the first true leaves appear take the seedlings off bottom heat but keep them under cover. Don’t over water. When they have made sturdy plants, before they start flowering and when the danger of frost is over, plant them outside. After planting, a plastic tree guard will protect them from wind and also creates a warm micro-climate. Tie to a 200cm stake or a 200cm trellis.
