Sowing & growing
Sow indoors Mar-Apr in seeds trays or modules of good quality seed compost. Lightly cover and keep moist but not wet. Germination can be aided by soaking the seeds for 24-48 hours before sowing to softentheir hard shell. Alternatively sow direct where you would liek them to flower, 2 seeds per support in May-Jun.
Aftercare
Provide plenty of support as they can grow to cover a large area in one season. A tall wigwam, obelisk or trellis is ideal.
