Growing tips

Do not prick preculture. Plant out only after the plant has two true leaves. If necessary, mound a little. Spiking after 5-6 leaves helps the development of side shoots. Sensitive to wind, so choose a sheltered place. Cover with fleece in cold temperatures. A climbing aid can be used. Water regularly.
