Sow at the beginning to end of February in a warm place in a seed tray. Prick out young plants into pots when they are approx. 5 cm high. Plant out from the beginning of May at a distance of 60 cm on all sides in a greenhouse or from mid-May in the open ground (cover with fleece). Tie to a stake. Always break out the first flower.
