Sowing advice
These seeds are extremely fine. Take care when opening the pack.
Sow in trays or pots. Sow on the surface of moist seed raising mix. Dont cover as light is required for germination. Water from the bottom of the pot so as not to drive the seed under the soil. Keep at about 20 deg C . Germination takes about 2 weeks . When the seedlings are large enough to handle plant them out into small pots, and move to the garden after all danger of frost has gone.
