Planting

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Because it is frost tender it is better to be planted out into a moveable container, filled with loam based compost, this can be put outside after the last frost and brought in again before winter. If you are lucky enough to live in a frost free place it could be planted out into a sheltered sit.
