Sowing – Sow seeds from mid-April to early June, 20mm (½in) deep in 7cm pots or cells, using multi-purpose compost. Place in a propagator at 20-25°C (68-77F) until germination which takes up to 7 days. Seeds can also be sown outdoors in warm soil from May. It is tolerant to Yellow Mosaic Virus and Powdery Mildew.
