Growing Notes

• Sow on the surface of clean, pre-moistened, low-salt seedling mix. For home conditions, use only a transparent dusting of fine vermiculite; do not bury the seed.
• Maintain 22°C and even humidity without waterlogging. Light is not required for germination, but move the tray into bright light as soon as the first seedlings emerge.
• Do not soak or cold-stratify this stocked cultivar by default.
• Pot on when several true leaves have formed and roots hold the plug together; harden gradually before planting out.
• Set the crown at soil level, space 30–40 cm apart, and use root-zone watering and clean mulch without covering the crown.
