How to Grow

Can be sown directly in the garden when the soil is ready or be pre-cultivated before planting in the garden. Sow the seeds shallow, about 0,5cm deep. Best temperature for germination is below 18°C. If the temperature is higher the germination rate will be lower and the seedlings will be weak. Can be sown successively for access throughout the season. Do not let the seedlings dry out. When the plants are established they tolerate cold weather.
