Growing Notes

• Sow one raw seed per deep cell in clean, free-draining seedling mix.
• Cover lightly with coarse vermiculite, keep at 21–24°C and maintain even moisture without saturation.
• Harden off well-rooted seedlings gradually, keep the crown at soil level and space plants 25–36 cm apart.
• Do not confuse optional plant vernalisation for earlier flowering with seed stratification; this current seed does not require chilling.
