Garden Uses

Growing Notes

• Use a fine, sterile seedling mix and keep trays warm, humid and evenly moist until germination.
• Water gently so the tiny lightly covered seed is not washed away.
• Harden seedlings off gradually before planting into richer garden soil or containers.
• Plant into compost-improved, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil or a quality potting mix.
