Sowing Instructions

To shorten germination period use sandpaper/nail file to slightly damage these hard-shelled seeds, leave in water overnight to swell. Sow into pots, keep moist and warm (15-20˚C). Seedlings are frost tender and dislike overwatering. Transplant when you have 6-8 true leaves (protect seedlings from slugs).
