Sowing & growing

Sow outside from Mar-May or Aug-Sep directly where you would like them to grow. Spread seed thinly into a very shallow pre-watered drill. Cover with a very fine covering of soil and firm down. Keep the seed bed moist until the seedlings emerge. Once germinated thin out to roughly 30cm apart.

Aftercare

Allow to self-seed for following year. Surplus seedlings are easy to recognise and easy to pull up.
