Advice & Tips:

• Picked fresh from the garden - flowers, foliage & unripened seeds are deliciously edible with a peppery flavour making a vitamin-packed & colourful addition to salads.
• Plant height: 180cm Plant spacing: 30cm
• Level fill a tray with seed compost firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Scatter seeds thinly covering seeds with 1cm compost. Place in a propagator at 15-20°C or cover tray with cling film & leave in a warm room.
• When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm apart to trays of potting compost or singly into small pots. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10°C.
• Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out 30cm apart when the risk of frost has passed. Water well until established.
• Sow seeds in pre-watered soil at a depth of 2cm in their flowering positions. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge & water well in dry spells. Thin seedlings to around 30cm.
