For best results sow the seeds on the surface of moist compost in pots or trays.
Lightly cover with 2 mm of fine compost or vermiculite.
Place the container in a propagator or if preferred in a clear polythene bag and seal. Germinate at the temperature suggested above. Do not exclude light as light will help improve germination.
Once germination has started remove from the bag or propagator and move to a location with good daylight exposure and a reduced temperature (but still warm). Protect from frost.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant into 7 - 10 cm diameter pots. Grow on in cooler (frost free) conditions.
Plant out into their final growing position after all risk of frost has passed and the plants are growing strong.
Harden off over 7 - 10 days before planting out so that the plants gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions.
For best results start the plants indoors.
Water well until fully established.
The flowers are tasty eaten raw and added to desserts or salads.
