Planting Outdoors

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Plant out container grown plants in partial shade, morning sun is good, into a fertile but moist position. Pinching out the tops will make them grow bushier.

 

Propagating by seed

From Late Winter TO Early Spring

Sow seed into trays of compost, press them into the soil only, keep the compost moist and place in a plastic bag or propagator. when they are big enough to handle replant them into containers and put in a cooler place.
