Growing tips

Ideal for outdoor planting, best planted from mid-May, in a sunny, warm location with plenty of nutrients. Cover the seeds with soil after sowing. A soil temperature of 25-30°C is ideal for germination. Tying them up on a trellis is also good for plant health as the leaves dry out more quickly. Never allow the soil to dry out.
