Growing tips

Pre-culture in pots in April and plant out after a hardening-off period after the Ice Saints in May. Handle the sensitive root balls very carefully when planting. From then on, they can also be sown directly outdoors. Distance between plants approx. 150 cm. Loves well-drained, nutrient-rich soil, warmth and plenty of water.
